SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the limitations of the Split-Step Fourier Method when applied to a rectangular pulse shape in MATLAB. The user reports that their implementation using the MATLAB code from the MathWorks File Exchange does not yield the expected results. This raises questions about whether the method is inherently unsuitable for rectangular pulses or if there are errors in the MATLAB code itself. Further investigation into the specific characteristics of the Split-Step Fourier Method and its application to different pulse shapes is necessary.
