Similariton-like Pulses in Synchronously Pumped Singly Resonant Optical Parametric Oscillators

Abstract

Similariton-like pulses are found to be formed in synchronously pumped singly resonant optical parametric oscillators (OPO) by numerical simulation. The nonlinear coupled-wave equations can be reduced to inhomogeneous nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The signal pulses with parabola-like temporal intensity profile and linear chirp are presented in OPO. The similariton-like pulses in OPO have many practical and potential applications.

This paper has been withdrawn by the authors. The optical pulse formation in resonant optical parametric oscillators is actually not similariton. The pulse evolution in OPO is not in self-similar way
