Abstract :
Summary form only given. The existence of localized wave (LW) solutions in optical fiber waveguides has been demonstrated previously (Vengsarkar et al., 1992). Despite the waveguide constraints introduced by the fiber structure, solutions that resemble nondecaying free-space solutions were obtained using broad bandwidth spectra. Following on from the earlier work, the author discussed the effect of waveguide constraints on the solution methodology and described two approaches toward solving the problem. A detailed study of the modified power spectrum was performed; practical issues regarding source spectra were addressed; and distances over which such localized wave solutions maintain their nondecaying nature were quantified. In addition, the behavior of the LP/sub 11/ mode in the fiber for the modified power spectrum pulse was evaluated.<>
