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 ...

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.

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 ...

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

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.

Nonlinear Optics and Optical Fibers
2000In 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, 1998We 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.
