Nonlinear systems with periodic variations of nonlinearity and/or dispersion occur in a
variety of physical problems and engineering applications. The mathematical concept of …

The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very
important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer networking and …

Ultrashort pulse generation hinges on the careful management of dispersion. Traditionally,
this has exclusively involved second-order dispersion, with higher-order dispersion treated …

Recent progress on time-division multiplexed (TDM) and wavelength-division multiplexed
(WDM) soliton transmission is described, in which dispersion management plays an …

The mathematical basis of nonlinear optics is Maxwell's system of equations governing
propagation of electromagnetic waves in a material medium, combined with relations …

By using the diffraction properties of waveguide arrays, we propose a scheme to produce
structures with designed diffraction. We fabricated arrays with reduced, canceled, and even …

The authors examine the formation of stable soliton-like pulses in optical fibres with a
periodic dispersion map. It is found that increased energy is required to launch a pulse of …

A theory of optical pulse propagation in cascaded transmission systems that are based on
the dispersion-compensating fiber technique is developed. The existence of two scales …

We show the possibility to generate bright and dark optical solitons based on bound-to-
bound intersubband transitions in an asymmetric three-coupled quantum well structure. By …

We present a projection-operator method to express the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger
equation for pulse propagation in optical fibers, in terms of the pulse parameters, called …
