Light Beam and Pulse Propagation in Nonlinear Dielectrics

摘要

Currently, one of the major achievements in this project has been in (a) aproposal to use arrays as a way to amplify and shorten pulses, by means of collapse-type mechanisms; in (b) the characterization of three distinct types of nonlinear modes, where that corresponding to the most localized in energy distribution along the array, shows very stable features, including an absence of mode-mode interaction, which make them excellent candidate of information carriers. Some of these results are to appear in two Optics Letters publications.
