Parametric solitons: nonlinear propagation of coherently coupled pulses generated through four-photon mixing
Abstract:
We discuss the nonlinear propagation of three coherently coupled pulses interacting through the parametric four-photon mixing process in a single-mode fiber. An intense pump pulse whose wavelength lies near the zero-group-velocity-dispersion wavelength gives rise to a pair of Stokes and anti-Stokes pulses. A compressed solitonlike pulse at the Stokes wavelength is generated, while the anti-Stokes wave propagates as a dark pulse. The propagation equations also describe modulational instability in the presence of pump depletion.

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...

Propagation of Action Potentials
Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...

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...
