Abstract:

Influence of the beam self–compression when it is focused onto a homogeneous Kerr medium on time– dependent phase self–modulation and frequency spectrum of the pulse is studied analytically. It is shown that at a strong nonlinearity the frequency spectrum can take a specific feature, that is, the position of the main spectral maximum of the beam intensity shifts towards the carrier frequency of the pulse.
