Nonlinear optics

intensity-dependent group velocity that makes the trailing edge of an intense pulse sharpen, potentially leading to optical shock.

In nonlinear optics, self-steepening refers to intensity-dependent group velocity that makes the trailing edge of an intense pulse sharpen, potentially leading to optical shock. This meaning comes from DeMartini (1967) in Physical Review.[1]
