Abstract

First observations of cross-phase modulation effects were reported in mid-1980's. This nonlinear interaction between ultrashort pulses is inherent to nonlinear generation processes. It can also be used for all-optical control of spectral, temporal, and spatial properties of ultrashort pulses. This paper reviews the main discoveries that were reported by Alfano and al. at City College of New York.
