Abstract

Solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with gain, describing optical pulse propagation in an amplifying medium, are examined. A self-similar parabolic solution in the energy-containing core of the pulse is matched to the linear low-amplitude tails. The theoretical analysis reproduces accurately the numerically calculated solution.
