Nonlinear fiber optics concerns with the nonlinear optical phenomena occurring inside optical
fibers. Although the field ofnonlinear optics traces its beginning to 1961, when a ruby laser …

This review begins with an historical introduction to the field of nonlinear fiber optics and
then focuses on the propagation of short optical pulses inside optical fibers. The underlying …

Since its invention in 1962, the semiconductor laser has come a long way. Advances in
material purity and epitaxial growth techniques have led to a variety of semiconductor lasers …

We show analytically that bright and dark spatial self-similar waves can propagate in graded-index
amplifiers exhibiting self-focusing or self-defocusing Kerr nonlinearities. The intensity …

As recognized almost immediately following the design of the first laser [1, 2], lasers are
dynamical systems capable of exhibiting a wide variety of nonlinear dynamics. For many …
