Conference Agenda

It will be explained how the propagation of picosecond and femtosecond pulses in optical fibers can be simulated, taking into account chromatic dispersion, various kinds of nonlinearities and wavelength-dependent saturable gain. (A special challenge is the latter, if both time and frequency domain need to be considered.) Coherence properties of frequency combs can be investigated with some additional statistical processing.

Various techniques can also be applied for pulse propagation in other kinds of media, such as waveguides in various doped insulators or silicon.
