    "abstract": "We review and extend the analogies between Gaussian pulse propagation and\nGaussian beam diffraction. In addition to the well-known parallels between\npulse dispersion in optical fiber and CW beam diffraction in free space, we\nreview temporal lenses as a way to describe nonlinearities in the propagation\nequations, and then introduce further concepts that permit the description of\npulse evolution in more complicated systems. These include the temporal\nequivalent of a spherical dielectric interface, which is used by way of example\nto derive design parameters used in a recent dispersion-mapped soliton\ntransmission experiment. Our formalism offers a quick, concise and powerful\napproach to analyzing a variety of linear and nonlinear pulse propagation\nphenomena in optical fibers.",
