Solitary pulses in an amplified nonlinear dispersive medium

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An analytical solution is obtained for solitary pulse propagation in an amplified nonlinear dispersive system. For a homogeneously broadened gain medium, this solitary pulse has a hyperbolic secant amplitude and a hyperbolic tangent instantaneous frequency variation. The pulse is a gain-guided pulse in either the positive or the negative dispersion regime as well as in the self-focusing or self-defocusing regime. A dark solitary pulse that has a hyperbolic tangent amplitude and a similar instantaneous frequency variation is also obtained.
