- A numerical and analytical analysis of two-dimensional laser beam propagation in cubic-quintic nonlinear optical media demonstrates the existence of stable stationary radially symmetric modes. By means of a variational method, involving super-Gaussian trial functions and Ritz optimization, approximate stationary solutions are obtained, showing very good agreement with numerical results, even in the strongly non-linear, almost saturated, regime. The stability of the stationary modes are verified by analytical analysis and by direct numerical simulations.

- This paper shows the possibility of obtaining fast, but still adiabatic, amplification of soliton pulses by using a rapidly increasing distributed amplification with scale lengths comparable with the characteristic dispersion length. Explicit expressions for the required distribution of this gain and the variation of the pulse width are given, and theoretical predictions have been verified by numerical simulations. The practical implementation of the compression scheme should be possible by using an active fiber with a doping proportional to the required gain distribution. A study was also made of how efficient compression of solitons can be obtained.

Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- It is shown that a properly tailored, rapidly increasing gain along the distance of propagation in a monomode fiber can provide fast but still adiabatic soliton amplification and therefore high-quality one-soliton compression for fiber lengths even shorter than the characteristic dispersive length. With the variational approach an explicit expression is given for the required variation of the inhomogeneous gain, and its validity is demonstrated by comparison with direct numerical simulations that include the calculation of the pure soliton component. It is also shown by analytical and numerical perturbation analysis that the compression scheme is stable with respect to small deviations from the ideal soliton form and gain variation. Finally, it is demonstrated that efficient soliton compression can also be obtained by cascading of instantaneous optical amplifiers in an intermediate fiber with higher dispersion, where nonlinear mode conversion preserves the soliton character of the amplified pulse. The practical implementation of these compressor schemes is discussed.
