title: Nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers using second order moments.
abstract: We present simple yet efficient formulae for the propagation of the second order moments of a pulse in a nonlinear and dispersive optical fiber over many dispersion and nonlinear lengths. The propagation of the temporal and spectral widths, chirp and power of pulses are very precisely approximated and quickly calculated in both dispersion regimes as long as the pulses are not high order solitons.
