Optimal conditions for light pulses coherence transformation in thin nonlinear media
arXiv:physics/9809014 · doi:10.1117/12.320978
Abstract
Via solution of appropriate variational problem it is shown that light beams with Gaussian spatial profile and sufficiently short duration provide maximal destruction of global coherence under nonlinear self-modulation.
