We develop a Riemann-Hilbert approach to the inverse scattering transform method for the short pulse (SP) equation $u_{xt}=u+\frac{1}{6}(u^3)_{xx}$ with zero boundary conditions (as $|x|\to\infty$). This approach is directly applied to the…

I derive a temporally propagated uni-directional optical pulse equation valid in the few cycle limit. Temporal propagation is advantageous because it naturally preserves causality, unlike the competing spatially propagated models. The exact…
