The investigation of nonlinear wave phenomena has been one of the
main direc tions of research in optics for the last few decades.
Soliton concepts applied to the description of intense
electromagnetic beams and ultrashort pulse propagation in various
media have contributed much to this field. The notion of solitons
has proved to be very useful in describing wave processes in
hydrodynamics, plasma physics and condensed matter physics.
Moreover, it is also of great importance in optics for ultrafast
information transmission and storage, radiation propagation in
resonant media, etc. In 1973, Hasegawa and Tappert made a
significant contribution to optical soliton physics when they
predicted the existence of an envelope soliton in the regime of
short pulses in optical fibres. In 1980, Mollenauer et al.
conducted ex periments to elucidate this phenomenon. Since then the
theory of optical solitons as well as their experimental
investigation has progressed rapidly. The effects of
inhomogeneities of the medium and energy pumping on optical
solitons, the interaction between optical solitons and their
generation in fibres, etc. have all been investigated and reported.
Logical devices using optical solitons have been developed; new
types of optical solitons in media with Kerr-type nonlinearity and
in resonant media have been described."
