The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer n

Solitons are waves that retain their form through obstacle and distance. Solitons can be found in hydrodynamics, nonlinear optics, plasma physics, and biology.

Soliton-based concepts open the road for newly designed laser sources, new frequency converters and high-intensity laser-material interactions. Optical solitons

Despite remarkable developments in the field, a detailed treatment of non-Kerr law media has not been published. Introduction to non-Kerr Law Optical Solitons i

Provides an overview of our current understanding of optical soliton properties introducing the subject for students and reviewing the most recent research.
