Time-domain Optics of Ultrashort Waveforms / Edition 1

by A. B. Shvartsburg

Overview

The behavior of ultra-short electromagnetic pulses as they travel in dispersive media is impossible to analyze and model by the usual Fourier methods, which break down in such situations. Shvartsburg, one of the world's top experts, assembles here for the first time alternative mathematical methods and tools to accomplish these tasks, making this an important resource for researchers and practitioners in applied mathematics, laser physics, fiber optics, and telecommunications, among other fields.
