Abstract

The problem of suppressing a counterpropagating wave when pulse propagates in linear or nonlinear medium or system due to interference quenching at the input boundary with an additional pulse incident on the output boundary has been analyzed. A way of unambiguous determination of the profile of the additional pulse is described for the case of optical media without spatial dispersion.
