CONTENTS NOTE
Text of Note
"The only book on the market to seamlessly explore the physical and technical aspects of nonlinear effects as well as their impacts and applications, Nonlinear Effects in Optical Fibers provides a comprehensible introduction to the complex nonlinear phenomena occurring within optical fibers. This valuable resource for students, researchers, and developers explores virtually all the latest and most significant research results in the field of nonlinear fiber optics, including: highly nonlinear and photonic fibers; intrachannel nonlinear effects; dissipative and dispersion-managed solitons; and potential applications of nonlinear effects in the area of optical signal processing"--Provided by publisher.
Text of Note
Chapter coverage includes the nonlinear Schr[& x00F7;]dinger equation, nonlinear phase modulation, self- and cross-phase modulation, polarization effects, four-wave mixing, stimulated Raman scattering, and stimulated Brillouin scattering. In addition, each chapter features a set of practice problems to reinforce retention of the material. --Book Jacket.

Nonlinear Effects in Optical Fibers provides a comprehensible introduction to the complex nonlinear phenomena occurring within optical fibers. It is the only book to seamlessly explore the physical and technical aspects of nonlinear effects as well as their impacts and applications, particularly for signal processing, pulse generation, and amplification. The author explores the latest and most significant research results in the field of nonlinear fiber optics, such as: --
Text of Note
Nonolinear fiber optics is a specialized part of fiber optics dealing with optical nonlinearities and their applications. As fiber-optic communication systems have become more advanced and complex, the nonlinear effects in optical fibers have increased in importance, as they adversely affect system performance. Paradoxically, the same nonlinear phenomena also offer the promise of addressing the bandwidth bottleneck for signal processing for future ultra-high speed optical networks. --
