This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the nonlinear optical effects occurring inside optical fibers. This third edition retains most of the material that appeared in the first edition, with the exception of Chapter 6, which is now devoted to the polarization effects relevant for light propagation in optical fibers. Importance of Topic Internet information (which is doubling every six months) travels through optical fibers. Today, optical fibers are being installed where a single fiber has the ability to carry up to 200 times as much information as much as 200 times faster than was possible just five years ago. The communication industry is at the onset of new expansion that centers on optical fibers. Why This Title The contents include many important topics such as self and cross-phase modulation, stimulated Raman and Brillouin Scattering, four-wave mixing, modulation instability, and optical solutions. A proper understanding of the topics covered in this book is essential for scientists and engineers in various aspects of lightwave technology. The third edition of Nonlinear Fiber Optics continues to be the authoritative text providing the reader with a thorough treatment of the fundamentals necessary to understand this fast moving technology. Who Is This For This book can be used as a senior or graduate level textbook on fiber optics. It can be used as a reference book by scientists, engineers, and researchers in the field of fiber optics and optical communications.
