The equation governing pulse propagation in nonlinear optical fibers and waveguides under ideal conditions is the completely integrable nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. In more realistic situations, however, this equation can be perturbed by effects such as continuous or discrete loss and periodic gain, amplified spontaneous emission noise, periodic variations in the dispersion coefficient (also known as dispersion management), or by two-polarization field envelope interactions. In this minisymposium (and the associated contributed paper session) the relevant physical and mathematical issues, both resolved and open, will be discussed.
