Optical shock waves in nonlinear dispersive amplifying media

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We show that optical shock-wave solutions are possible in nonlinear dispersive amplifying media that exhibit a frequency-dependent gain and background loss. These shock-wave domains exist at lasing threshold and are permitted in both the normal and the anomalous dispersive regions.
