Description
Since the 3rd edition appeared, a fast evolution of the field has occurred. The fourth edition of this classic work provides an up-to-date
account of the nonlinear phenomena occurring inside optical fibers. The contents include such important topics as self- and cross-phase
modulation, stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering, four-wave mixing, modulation instability, and optical solitons. Many new figures
have been added to help illustrate the concepts discussed in the book.
New to this edition are chapters on highly nonlinear fibers
and and the novel nonlinear effects that have been observed in these fibers since 2000. Such a chapter should be of interest to people
in the field of new wavelengths generation, which has potential application in medical diagnosis and treatments, spectroscopy, new wavelength
lasers and light sources, etc.
