Effect of Initial Chirp on Soliton Pulse Compression in the Ionization Regime

Abstract

Ultrashort pulse propagation in gas-filled hollow-core fibers presents an exciting research opportunity for nonlinear light-matter interactions [1]. Its growing interest in the field is motivated by the system's ability to guide high-power, broadband beams, as well as its dispersion and nonlinear properties that can be controlled precisely through changing the filling gas species or pressure. These features have been utilized to harness various novel phenomena that are unique to the system.
