Extending the general approach for first-order hyperbolic systems developed in [D. Appeloe, T. Hagstrom, G. Kreiss, Perfectly matched layers for hyperbolic systems: general formulation, well-posedness and stability, SIAM J. Appl. Math., 2006, to appear], we construct PML equations for the mixed-type system governing propagation of optical wave packets in both 1D and 2D Bragg resonant photonic waveguides with a cubic nonlinearity, i.e. the coupled mode equations. We prove that in the linear case the layer equations are absorbing and perfectly matched. We also prove they are stable for constant parameters. A number of numerical experiments are performed to assess the layer's performance in both the linear and nonlinear regimes.
