Abstract
We demonstrate that it is possible to perform a fractional Fourier transform of an incident pulse with a continuously variable degree of fractionality, using a dispersive and nonlinear Kerr medium. This medium acts as a linear waveguide for the optical pulse if its intensity is small and if the refractive index is nonlinearly time-dependently modified by a simultaneously launched bright soliton. For optical pulses the dispersive and nonlinear medium is perfectly equivalent to a graded-index refractive medium for optical beams.
