Summary:This paper develops and applies a new quadrature method for TM waves that is capable of dealing with any kind of nonlinearity. Explicit solutions of the nonlinear equations are not required and power-effective index curves can be developed in terms of relatively straightforward integrations (quadrature) over one of the field components. The integration limits may be a function of frequency and/or magnetic field. The basic theory necessary for a study of nonlinear magneto-optic or magnetoplasma devices is created. Strongly nonlinear effects will require matched indices and a magnetic field can provide an extra tuning element that can enhance this matching. The theory has the potential to lead to novel coupler configurations.
