We discuss state-of-art approaches to modeling of propagation of
ultrashort optical pulses in one and three spatial dimensions.We operate with
the analytic signal formulation for the electric field rather than using the
slowly varying envelope approximation, because the latter becomes
questionable for few-cycle pulses. Suitable propagation models are naturally
derived in terms of unidirectional approximation.
