Abstract

Abstract The basic differential equations necessary to represent nonlinear propagation of short and ultrashort optical pulses in dielectric waveguides are derived. After introducing fundamental and higher-order soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schroedinger equations, the possibilities of realizing soliton-based communication systems are discussed. Higher-order nonlinear effects associated with selj-Raman gain and optical amplification in connection with the use of active fibers are also described.
