ITERATIVE SOLUTION TO THE GELFAND-LEVITAN-MARCHENKO COUPLED EQUATIONSAND APPLICATION TO SYNTHESIS OF FIBER GRATINGS

In this paper, we develop an iterative solution to the coupled Gel'Fan d-Levitan-Marchenko integral equations. It will be proved that this ne w technique outstands other methods such as the exact GLM solution or the Fourier method. As one of its many applications, the synthesis of fiber gratings for dispersion equalization will be tackled.
