Collapse of optical pulses

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Under the combined effect of diffraction, anomalous dispersion, and nonlinear refraction, an optical pulse can collapse simultaneously in time and space. Such a collapse could yield short pulses with extremely large optical fields. Light bullets—pulses that propagate without change in space or time—are also possible. The condition for such a collapse and possible experiments are discussed.
