30. The translational symmetry will be broken if there is a disorder in the system. However, the bandwidth compression process may not be significantly affected if the strength of the disorder is far smaller than the initial bandwidth of the system. A disorder would create a nonpropagating localized state with zero group velocity. Thus, the bandwidth-compressed pulse would still be localized within the system, although it will be reshaped due to disorder.
