Nonlinear Fiber Optics

The fourth edition of Nonlinear Fiber Optics has been completely updated to provide in-depth coverage of the nonlinear phenomena occurring inside optical fibers. Topics covered in this classic text include self- and cross-phase modulation, stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering, four-wave mixing, modulation instability, and optical solutions. The book has also added many new figures to help illustrate the concepts discussed, and also includes new chapters on highly nonlinear fibers and the novel nonlinear effects that have been observed in these fibers since 2000. This is a great resource for anyone involved in the field of new wavelengths generation, which has potential application in medical diagnosis and treatments, spectroscopy, new wavelength lasers and light sources, etc. 552 pp.
