摘要
I derive unidirectional wave equations for fields propagating in materials with both electric and magnetic dispersion and nonlinearity. The derivation imposes no conditions on the pulse profile except that the material modulates the propagation slowly, that is, that loss, dispersion, and nonlinearity have only a small effect over the scale of a wavelength. It also allows a direct term-to-term comparison of the exact bidirectional theory with its approximate unidirectional counterpart.
