Full Field Propagation Models And Methods For Extreme Nonlinear Optics

This dissertation examines models, methods, and applications of electric field pulse propagation in nonlinear optics. Standard nonlinear optical propagation models such as the NLS equation are derived using a procedure invoking a slowly-varying wave approximation which amounts to discarding second o...
