Abstract
We prove that the Schafer–Wayne short pulse equation (SPE), which describes the propagation of ultrashort optical pulses in nonlinear media, is integrable. First, we discover a Lax pair of the SPE that is found to be of the Wadati–Konno–Ichikawa type. Second, we construct a chain of transformations that relates the SPE with the sine-Gordon equation.
