Time independence of light in optical fibers

The propagation of light in optical fibers is governed by the equation $ifrac{partial A}{partial z} = frac{beta_2}{2}frac{partial^2A}{partial T^2} - gamma|A|^2A$ where $A(z,T)$ represents the amplitude of the field...

Does the FRW metric imply spacetime scales?

The FRW metric can be written in conformal coordinates to give:$$ds^2=a^2(eta)(-deta^2+dmathbf{Sigma^2}),$$where $eta$ is the conformal time and $mathbf{Sigma}$ ranges over 3-dimensional space of uniform curvature....
