Forward mode coupling in periodic nonlinear-optical fibers: modal dispersion cancellation and resonance solitons.
TLDR
In the presence of an intensity-dependent frequency chirp, periodic linear mode coupling between two copropagating waves may counteract their temporal walkoff and lead to a new type of optical soliton that propagates at any wavelength.Abstract:

Optical Solitons
TL;DR: The theory of optical solitons as well as their experimental investigation has progressed rapidly as discussed by the authors, and optical soliton concepts applied to the description of intense electromagnetic beams and ultrashort pulse propagation in various media have contributed much to this field.

III Gap Solitons
TL;DR: The gap solitons are electromagnetic field structures that can exist in a nonlinear optical medium if there is also a periodic variation in the linear optical properties over a length scale on the order of the wavelength of light as mentioned in this paper.

Soliton switching in nonlinear couplers
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical overview of soliton switching phenomena in two-mode nonlinear couplers is presented, and the switching dynamics in the presence of dissipative perturbations such as linear gain or intrapulse Raman scattering is also discussed.

Alternative scheme for studying gap solitons in an infinite periodic Kerr medium
TL;DR: Examination of the conditions for formation of gap solitons in an infinite periodic Kerr medium is examined by illuminating the nonlinear grating with two intense cw beams, providing a novel experimental method for studying gapsolitons.

Transmission of stationary nonlinear optical pulses in dispersive dielectric fibers. I. Anomalous dispersion
Akira Hasegawa,Frederick Tappert +1 more
TL;DR: Theoretical calculations supported by numerical simulations show that utilization of the nonlinear dependence of the index of refraction on intensity makes possible the transmission of picosecond optical pulses without distortion in dielectric fiber waveguides with group velocity dispersion.

A soluble relativistic field theory
TL;DR: In this article, the theory of a self-coupled spinors field with L = λ ψ ψ Έ ω ψ (π) is solved in one space and one time dimension, and a representation of the eigenstates of the energy is given.

Phenomenological approach to polarisation dispersion in long single-mode fibres
C.D. Poole,Richard E. Wagner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for polarisation dispersion in single-mode fibres of arbitrary length and configuration is proposed based on the existence of principal states of polarisation, i.e., two orthogonal input states of polarity whose corresponding output states exhibit zero dispersion.

Gap solitons and the nonlinear optical response of superlattices.
Wei Chen,D. L. Mills +1 more
TL;DR: The transmission of radiation through superlattices of finite length, where the dielectric constant of one film in each unit cell contains a term linear in the local field intensity, is studied.
