Annotation

Propagation of ultra-short optical pulses in an environment with quadratic nonlinearity and modulated dispersion is studied. It is shown that periodic modulation of the velocity-mismatch sign and of the third-order dispersion coefficient allows one to suppress pulse scattering and decompression, which noticeably increases their interaction efficiency.
