Beneficial impact of wave-breaking for coherent continuum formation in normally dispersive nonlinear fibers
2008
International audience; We study the evolution of a pulse propagating in a normally dispersive fiber in the presence of Kerr nonlinearity. We review the temporal and spectral impact of optical wave-breaking in the development of a continuum. The impact of linear losses or gain is also investigated.
