Nonlinear Waves in Optics
10:15 AM-12:15 PM
Room 246
In recent years there has been considerable interest in the study of nonlinear wave propagation in optics. Especially significant is the propagation of stable localized pulses such as solitary/soliton waves in nonlinear optical media. There are numerous applications of such localized pulse propagation, including data transmission over long distances and optical switching. In this minsymposium the speakers will discuss these ideas and their applications.
