Evolution of optical pulses towards wave breaking in highly nonlinear fibres

An approximate analytical analysis is given describing the strongly nonlinear evolution of optical pulses in nonlinear fibres with normal dispersion. The result provides a good explicit description of the evolution of initially chirp-free Gaussian-shaped pulses, including the developing chirp and th...

Summary:An approximate analytical analysis is given describing the strongly nonlinear evolution of optical pulses in nonlinear fibres with normal dispersion. The result provides a good explicit description of the evolution of initially chirp-free Gaussian-shaped pulses, including the developing chirp and the successive pulse rectangularization that ultimately leads to wave breaking.
