I present an overview of pulse propagation methods used in nonlinear optics, covering both full-field and envelope-and-carrier methods. Both wideband and narrowband cases are discussed. Three basic forms are considered -- those based on (a) Maxwells equations, (b) directional fields, and (c) the second order wave equation. While Maxwells equations simulators are the most general, directional field methods can give significant computational and conceptual advantages. Factorizations of the second order wave equation complete the set by being the simplest to understand. One important conclusion is that that envelope methods based on forward-only directional field propagation has made the traditional envelope methods (such as the SVEA, and extensions) based on the second order wave equation utterly redundant.

We develop a model for the description of nonlinear pulse propagation in multimode optical fibers with a parabolic refractive index profile. It consists in a 1+1D generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a periodic nonlinear coefficient, which
can be solved in an extremely fast and efficient way. The model is able to quantitatively reproduce recently observed phenomena like geometric parametric instability and broadband dispersive wave emission. We envisage that our equation will represent a valuable tool for the study of spatiotemporal nonlinear dynamics in the growing field of multimode fiber optics.
Particles or waves scattered from a rotating black hole can be amplified through the process of Penrose superradiance, though this cannot currently be observed in an astrophysical setting. However, analogue gravity studies can create generic rotating
geometries exhibiting an ergoregion, and this led to the first observation of Penrose superradiance as the over-reflection of water waves from a rotating fluid vortex. Here we theoretically demonstrate that Penrose superradiance arises naturally in the field of nonlinear optics. In particular, we elucidate the mechanism by which a signal beam can experience gain or amplification as it glances off a strong vortex pump beam in a nonlinear defocusing medium. This involves the trapping of negative norm modes in the core of the pump vortex, as predicted by Penrose, which in turn provides a gain mechanism for the signal beam. Our results elucidate a new regime of nonlinear optics involving the notion of an ergoregion, and provide further insight into the processes involved in Penrose superradiance.
Propagation equations for optical pulses are needed to assist in describing applications in ever more extreme situations -- including those in metamaterials with linear and nonlinear magnetic responses. Here I show how to derive a single first order
propagation equation using a minimum of approximations and a straightforward factorization mathematical scheme. The approach generates exact coupled bi-directional equations, after which it is clear that the description can be reduced to a single uni-directional first order wave equation by means of a simple slow evolution approximation, where the optical pulse changes little over the distance of one wavelength. It also also allows a direct term-to-term comparison of an exact bi-directional theory with the approximate uni-directional theory.
We numerically demonstrate inhibition of absorption, optical transparency, and anomalous momentum states of phase locked harmonic pulses in semiconductors, at UV and extreme UV frequencies, in spectral regions where the dielectric constant of typical
semiconductors is negative. We show that a generated harmonic signal can propagate through a bulk metallic medium without being absorbed as a result of a phase locking mechanism between the pump and its harmonics. These findings may open new regimes in nonlinear optics and are particularly relevant to the emerging fields of nonlinear negative index meta-materials and nano-plasmonics, especially in the ultrafast pulse regime.
Nonlinear optical methods are becoming ubiquitous in many areas of modern photonics. They are, however, often limited to a certain range of input parameters, such as pulse energy and average power, since restrictions arise from, for example, parasiti
c nonlinear effects, damage problems and geometrical considerations. Here, we show that many nonlinear optics phenomena in gaseous media are scale-invariant if spatial coordinates, gas density and laser pulse energy are scaled appropriately. We develop a general scaling model for (3+1)-dimensional wave equations, demonstrating the invariant scaling of nonlinear pulse propagation in gases. Our model is numerically applied to high-order harmonic generation and filamentation as well as experimentally verified using the example of pulse post-compression via filamentation. Our results provide a simple recipe for up-or downscaling of nonlinear processes in gases with numerous applications in many areas of science.
