| Abstract | We discuss several novel types of multi-component (temporal and spatial) envelope solitary waves that appear in fiber and waveguide nonlinear optics. In particular, we describe multi-channel solitary waves in bit-parallel-wavelength fiber transmission systems for high-performance computer networks, multi-color parametric spatial solitary waves due to cascaded nonlinearities of quadratic materials, and quasiperiodic envelope solitons due to quasi-phase-matching in Fibonacci optical superlattices. | Type | Journal paper [With referee] | Journal | Physica A | Year | 2000 Month December Vol. 288 pp. 152-173 | Publisher | Elsevier | BibTeX data | [bibtex] | IMM Group(s) | Mathematical Physics |
