Abstract

The propagation of light in a guided medium is generally described by the Maxwell’s equations. For long lengths of fiber, the Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) wave equation is typically derived under a few approximations on the waveguide properties of the guiding medium. In theoretical physics, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is a nonlinear variation of the Schrödinger equation. The propagation of the wave is a fundamental phenomenon occurring in several physical systems. It is a classical field equation whose principal applications are to the propagation of light in nonlinear planar waveguides and optical fibers to the Bose-Einstein condensates confined to highly anisotropic cigar-shaped traps in the mean-field regime. We will focus on the Schrödinger equation for signal propagation in photonic crystal fibers.
