We acknowledge the support of the School of Optometry, University of Missouri at St. Louis (USA), and the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain (Multidisciplinary project PR486r97-7477r97).We present an application of the analysis of light propagation in optical waveguides using the dynamic programming technique. We have obtained results for the transit time light pulse propagated in periodically segmented waveguides. Different semiconductor materials are considered. Certain conjectures on the behavior of the temporal pulses are made.engSpatial pulse characterization in periodically segmented waveguides by using dynamic programming approachjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0030-4018(99)00355-7http://www.sciencedirect.com/restricted access535Wave-Guides2nd-Harmonic GenerationPropagationTi-Linbo3Óptica (Física)2209.19 Óptica Física
