Abstract :
Summary form only given. In nonlinear fibre Bragg gratings many novel effects are predicted to occur. We have performed the first nonlinear experiments in long fibre Bragg gratings. We have observed gap soliton propagation at frequencies inside the bandgap and multiple soliton formation due to modulational instability outside the band gap.
