Nonlinear Optics and Optical Fibers

2000
In the various discussions concerning the propagation of light in material media such as silica optical fibers, in the previous chapters we have been dealing with linear processes. By this we mean that a light beam of a certain optical frequency which enters a given medium will leave the medium with the same frequency, although the amplitude and phase ...

Nonlinear Optical Interactions in Optical Fibers

Journal of Nonlinear Optical Physics & Materials, 1998
We report on our research program aimed at clarifying the physical processes leading to the nonlinear optical response of silica optical fibers and at studying the implications of optical nonlinearities on optical pulse propagation and optical switching devices.

Optical backpropagation for fiber-optic communications using highly nonlinear fibers

Optics Letters, 2011
A technique to realize an effective negative Kerr nonlinear coefficient using two highly nonlinear fibers is presented. This technique is used compensate the fiber nonlinearity in optical backpropagation.

Polymer Optical Fibers and Nonlinear Optical Device Principles

Angewandte Chemie, 1989
AbstractBasic principles of the present optoelectronic research activities at Hoechst AG are presented in this contribution. Within the diversified broad band spectrum of optoelectronic materials and applications our interest is focused on new types of polymer optical fibers and nonlinear optical device principles using organic Langmuir–Blodgett films ...

Optical wave breaking of pulses in nonlinear optical fibers

Optics Letters, 1985
A new effect appears in femtosecond optical pulse compression, using single-mode fibers, that we describe as optical wave breaking. In the fiber, frequency-shifted light in the leading and trailing edges of a pulse overtakes unshifted light in the pulse tails.

Hamiltonian description of nonlinear propagation in optical fibers

Physical Review A, 1988
Nonlinear propagation in single-mode and multimode fibers in the presence of the optical Kerr effect is described in terms of a number of parameters (four for each propagating mode) which can be interpreted as conjugate variables of a suitable Hamiltonian system.

Investigation of Optical Fibers for Nonlinear Optics.

1983
Abstract : The principal objective of this research program is to develop single-crystal (SC) fibers for use in nonliner optical devices. This encompasses measurement of physical and chemical properties of several candidate materials, fabrication of SC fibers, and investigation of nonlinear optical applications.

Basic nonlinear fiber optics

2017
This chapter describes light propagation in terms of modes of propagation that propagate through the optical fiber without any change in their transverse field distribution. Most fiber optic communication systems use digital communication in which information to be sent is first coded in the form of pulses and then these pulses of light are transmitted
