The nonlinear dynamical stabilization of ps-pulses in gradient index optical fibres

The new possibilities of controlled nonlinear evaluation of short pulses in gradient index optical fibres, connected with the fundamental and higher modes of the fibre geometry and with the pulse envelope are analysed. The possibilities for using these phenomena for increasing the quantity of information transmitted by such pulses are discussed. The preferred regions for employment of both soliton and non-soliton powerful pulses in optical communication systems are identified.
