Dark-Pulse Propagation in Optical Fibers
Year: 1988
Type: article
Abstract: We report measurements of the reshaping of 0.3-psec dark pulses due to their passage through 10 m of single-mode optical fiber. The measurements were performed as a function of intensity and the observed strong reshaping agrees qualitatively with the predictions of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation which suggest that we have observed the formation of dark-pulse solitons.
