Nonlinear propagation dynamics of an ultrashort pulse in a hollow waveguide

Abstract

We present a theoretical investigation of the self-focusing dynamics of femtosecond pulses in a hollow waveguide. We show that transverse effects play an important role in these dynamics, even for pulses that are significantly below the critical power for self-focusing in free space, and that excitation of higher-order modes of the waveguide results in the spreading of the pulse in time. Inclusion of self-steepening and space–time focusing in our model is necessary for properly capturing the pulse dynamics.
