This work proposes an analytical perturbative method describing the effects on the propagation of finite aperture beams due to the self-phase and self-amplitude modulation which result from cascaded second order interaction of ultrashort light pulses. The method merges the semi-analytical solution with a perturbative beam propagation technique, namely the Gaussian Beam Decomposition, which describes the effects of the non linear modulation on the free beam propagation. In particular we have studied the problem of the time- and intensity-dependent transmission of the pulse through slits or apertures placed along the path of the beam simulating a geometry suitable for passive laser mode-locking. Although an efficient pulse shortening action can be obtained in stationary conditions, in non stationary conditions the occurrence of an unavoidable amplitude modulation perturbs the beam propagation and reduces the temporal selectivity of the modulator.

ABSTRACT Objective Dyslexia is the difficulty of children in learning to read and write as results of neurological deficiencies. The objective was to test the Phonological awareness (PA) and Sinusoidal amplitude modulation (SAM) threshold in children with Phonological dyslexia (PD). Methods We performed a case-control, analytic, cross sectional study. We studied 14 children with PD and 14 control children from 7 to 11 years of age, by means of PA measurement and by SAM test. The mean age of dyslexic children was 8.39 years and in the control group was 8.15. Results Children with PD exhibited inadequate skills in PA, and SAM. We found significant correlations between PA and SAM at 4 Hertz frequency, and calculated regression equations that predicts between one-fourth and one-third of variance of measurements. Conclusion Alterations in PA and SAM found can help to explain basis of deficient language processing exhibited by children with PD.
