OPTICAL SOLITONS - FATKHULLA ABDULLAEV SERGEI D...

The investigation of nonlinear wave phenomena has been one of the main direc­ tions of research
in optics for the last few decades. Soliton concepts applied to the description of intense
electromagnetic beams and ultrashort pulse propagation in various media have contributed much
to this field. The notion of solitons has proved to be very useful in describing wave processes
in hydrodynamics  plasma physics and condensed matter physics. Moreover  it is also of great
importance in optics for ultrafast information transmission and storage  radiation propagation
in resonant media  etc. In 1973  Hasegawa and Tappert made a significant contribution to
optical soliton physics when they predicted the existence of an envelope soliton in the regime
of short pulses in optical fibres. In 1980  Mollenauer et al. conducted ex­ periments to
elucidate this phenomenon. Since then the theory of optical solitons as well as their
experimental investigation has progressed rapidly. The effects of inhomogeneities of the medium
and energy pumping on optical solitons  the interaction between optical solitons and their
generation in fibres  etc. have all been investigated and reported. Logical devices using
optical solitons have been developed  new types of optical solitons in media with Kerr-type
nonlinearity and in resonant media have been described.
