Over a decade ago, an analogy was drawn between the generation of large ocean waves
and the propagation of light fields in optical fibres. This analogy drove numerous …

Solitons, nonlinear self-trapped wavepackets, have been extensively studied in many and
diverse branches of physics such as optics, plasmas, condensed matter physics, fluid …

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 …

Examining classic theories, experimental methods, and practical formulas for exploration of
the core topics in nonlinear optics, the second edition of this acclaimed text was extensively …

We present a detailed overview of the physics and applications of optical dark solitons:
localized nonlinear waves (orholes') existing on a stable continuous wave (or extended finite …

Spatial solitons, beams that do not spread owing to diffraction when they propagate, have
been demonstrated to exist by virtue of a variety of nonlinear self-trap** mechanisms …

This work focuses on the propagation behaviors and stabilities of solitons of a nonlinear
Schrödinger equation with temporally inhomogeneous dispersion, cubic–quintic–septic …

We report a method for obtaining unity-order refractive index changes in the accumulation
layer of a metal-oxide-semiconductor heterostructure with conducting oxide as the active …

Under the combined effect of diffraction, anomalous dispersion, and nonlinear refraction, an
optical pulse can collapse simultaneously in time and space. Such a collapse could yield …
