Localized Waves in Optical Systems with Periodic Dispersion and Nonlinearity Management

Figure 11

One-map period evolution in the case where gain saturation, saturable absorber, and gain bandwidth are included ($\beta =0.2\text{,}$$\mu =\tau =0.05$). (a) Intramap evolution from numerical solution of (10). (b) Evolution of the intensity, FWHM, and chirp parameter over one map period from both the full evolution equation (10) (solid black curves) and the reduced equations (13)–(15) (grey diamonds). The shaded section corresponds to the anomalous dispersion segment.
