Stronger equation for a chiral optical fiber

This paper presents the solution of Maxwell's equations in a dispersive and nonlinear chiral singlemode optical fiber. The chirality is characterized through the Born-Fedorov formalism. The Kerr type nonlinearity is used and the medium dispersion is accounted for explicitly through a Taylor series e xpansion. This work allows us to analize the effect of chirality over the p ropagation equation of optical pulses. The results show modifications of th e attenuation and nonlinear coefficients and indicate that in the regime of propagation of solitons, the chiral optical fiber must work in the normal dispersion regime instead of the anomalous dispersion regime.
