Kink Solitons and Optical Shocks in Dispersive Non-Linear Media. (Reannouncementwith New Availability Information)

摘要

The generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation governs wave propagation innonlinear dispersive media by including the effects of group-velocity dispersion, self-phase-modulation, stimulated Raman scattering, and self-steepening. This equation is shown to have solitary-wave solutions that correspond to an optical shock front moving at the group velocity. The properties of such kink-type solitary waves are discussed.
