Abstract
Frequency-resolved optical gating is used to characterize the propagat ion of intense femtosecond pulses in a nonlinear, dispersive medium. T he combined effects of diffraction, normal dispersion, and cubic nonli nearity lead to pulse splitting. The role of the phase of the input pu lse is studied. The results are compared with the predictions of a thr ee-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation. (C) 1998 Optical Societ y of America.
