In the past years there was a huge interest in experimental and theoretical studies in the
area of few-optical-cycle pulses and in the broader fast growing field of the so-called …

The collapse of self-focusing waves described by the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation
and the Zakharov equations in nonlinear optics and plasma turbulence is reviewed. Special …

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 …

We present an overview of nonlinear phenomena related to optical quadratic solitons—
intrinsically multi-component localized states of light, which can exist in media without …

Despite remarkable developments in the field, a detailed treatment of non-Kerr law media
has not been published. Introduction to non-Kerr Law Optical Solitons is the first book …

Cascading is the process by which the exchange of energy between optical beams
interacting via second order nonlinearities (χ (2)) leads to various effects such as nonlinear …

A non-linear wave is one of the fundamental objects of nature. They are inherent to
aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, solid state physics and plasma physics, optics and field …

We predict a new kind of ring-profile solitary wave in nonlinear optical media, with finite
orbital angular momentum. During propagation these fragment into fundamental solitons …

We construct a family of bright optical solitons composed of fundamental-frequency (FF) and
second-harmonic (SH) components in the one-dimensional (planar) waveguide with the …

Stability of optical gap solitons is analyzed within a coupled-mode theory. Lower intensity
solitons are shown to always possess a vibration mode responsible for their long-lived …
