Nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers using second order moments
Abstract:
We present simple yet efficient formulae for the propagation of the second order moments of a pulse in a nonlinear and dispersive optical fiber over many dispersion and nonlinear lengths. The propagation of the temporal and spectral widths, chirp and power of pulses are very precisely approximated and quickly calculated in both dispersion regimes as long as the pulses are not high order solitons.

Propagation of Waves
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
