Pulse Dynamics in Novel Nonlinear Optical Systems (Part I of II)
Great progress has been achieved in recent years in the design of novel optical systems for transmission lines, pulse amplifiers and optical switches. There has also for considerable theoretical and computational work supporting the technological effort. This stems from the fact that the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE), which describes the dynamics in a simple nonlinear monomode fiber, is often no longer a good or even valid approximation in the case of pulse dynamics.
The speakers will discuss pulse dynamics in systems with higher order dispersive and/or absorptive effects which arise in optical transmission systems; discrete dispersive effects arising in fiber arrays; polarization dispersion; and light/matter interaction in systems far from the NLSE limit.
