title: Collett-Wolf equivalence theorem and propagation of a pulse in a single-mode optical fiber.
abstract: It is shown that the propagation of a temporal pulse in a single-mode optical fiber is mathematically equivalent to Fresnel diffraction of a spatial beam. A time-domain Collett-Wolf equivalence theorem applies to pulse propagation in fibers.
