Nonlinearity of Optical Fibers: A tutorial
Optical Fiber Communication Conference, 2018Fiber nonlinearities are regarded as being harmful for optical communication systems, although they are useful for applications such as Raman amplification and supercontinuum generation. In this tutorial I review them and discuss their practical implications.

Nonlinear optical fiber resonator: Optical fiber bistability
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences, 1996The linear and nonlinear charecteristics of verious optical fiber loop resonators have been processed uniformly using transmission matrix method. It is pointed that in nonlinear operation condition each of those optical fiber loop resonators may be used to make an all-optical fiber bistability device. The configuration, charecterictics and threshold of

Science, 2003
The use of fiber optics has tranformed telecommunications. In his Perspective, Mollenauer reviews some of the recent technical developments in this field that are based on the nonlinear properties of the fibers. Solitons (that is, light pulses that do not broaden as they travel) in silica fibers form the basis for the most sophisticated ...

Nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers
Optics Letters, 1978We discuss the propagation of nonlinear optical pulses in fibers. The wave equation is solved taking the radial dependence in an average way. The radius versus wavelength curves for "no dispersion" in SiO(2) glass are calculated and plotted. These no-dispersion curves separate the regions of light and dark solitons supported by the fibers.

Proceedings of LEOS '93, 2002
The most significant recent development in fiber nonlinear optics is the fiber amplifier. Higher power from optical amplification directly impacts lightwave systems, optical signal processing, and lasers. Even without optical amplifiers, the trend is to higher intensities in fibers which increases the role of nonlinearities.

Novel nonlinear waves in optical fibers
Optics Letters, 1986It is shown that a new class of radially symmetric nonlinear waves exists in an optical fiber with a third-order, optical Kerr-effect nonlinearity. The fiber has a circular cross section, and the field solutions are obtained from a scalar-wave equation that excludes any azimuthal coordinate dependence. It is assumed that the fiber has a linear core and

Unification of nonlinear-optical fiber devices
Optics Letters, 1990Nonlinear coupling can be described in a universal form applicable to a general class of optical fiber devices involving the interaction of two modes. By knowing the solution to one type of device, we then have the solution to all other types. For example, the descriptions of birefringent fibers used as switches and amplifiers have their direct ...

Optical Fibers for Nonlinear Optics.
1986Abstract : The main objective of this contract has been to find methods of fabricating single-crystal nonlinear optical fibers. Successful techniques were to be utilized to make crystal fibers useful for nonlinear optical devices, particularly devices exploiting second order optical nonlinearities.

Bistable holes in nonlinear optical fibers
Optics Letters, 1989Bistable dark solitary-wave solutions (bistable holes) to the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation are shown to exist in the normal dispersion regime for nonlinearities that are Kerr-like at low intensities, rise sufficiently rapidly at intermediate intensities, and become Kerr-like again or approach a constant value at large intensities.
