Solving the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

  • Chapter
Optical Communication Theory and Techniques

Abstract:

Some simple recursive methods are described for constructing asymptotically exact solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). It is shown that the NLSE solution can be expressed analytically by two recurrence relations corresponding to two different perturbation methods.
