Conversion of gravitational and electromagnetic waves without any external background field

Applying a simple harmonic map method to the cylindrically symmetric Einstein-Maxwell system, we obtain exact solutions representing strong nonlinear interaction between gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves in the case without any background field. As an interesting fact, we can show that with adjusted parameters the solution represents occurrences of large conversion phenomena in the intense region of fields near the cylindrically symmetric axis.
