A study of finite gap solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

The vector nonlinear Schrödinger equation is an envelope equation which models the propagation of ultra-short light pulses and continuous-wave beams along optical fibres. Previous work has focused almost entirely on soliton solutions to the equation using a Lax representation originally developed by...
