Abstract:
The conditions, under which the nonreciprocity of the frequency modulation rate and pulse duration as well as the spectral nonreciprocity in fibres with different types of inhomogeneity of nonlinearity and group-velocity dispersion appear, are studied for the Gaussian and hyperbolic secant frequency-modulated pulses. Strong compression nonreciprocity is found in fibres with an alternating group-velocity dispersion periodically changing over its length.
