Gas-filled capillaries#

Gas flow and mixtures in hollow capillaries, envelope plasma and vector Raman responses, the coherent wall that couples a capillary’s modes (on a straight bore, on a taper, and with the vector (TE/TM) wall), the low-call integrators and a frequency-dependent Kerr response.

For the soliton and dispersive-wave lessons, begin with the Introduction.
