Abstract :
The nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fiber filters is modeled by a multiresolution time domain (MRTD) scheme based on the expansion in scaling functions. As for the case of the linear modeling of microwave structures, the MRTD scheme exhibits advantages over Yee´s FDTD scheme, since it allows one to reduce the mesh size by a factor of five per dimension. This is demonstrated by modeling the pulse compression with both MRTD and FDTD schemes.
