This volume contains five articles presenting reviews of several
topics of current research which are likely to be of interest to
optical scientists and optical engineers. The first article, by J.
Ohtsubo, deals with the dynamics of feedback-induced instability
and chaos. The characteristics of semiconductor lasers based on the
rate equations, including various laser structures, are reviewed
and the effects of optical feedback in semiconductor lasers are
then discussed. the general area of the nonlinear interaction of
ultrafast pulses with optical and photonic crystal fibres are
discussed. In particular, ultrafast pulse measurements, pulse
shaping and pulse control are discussed. transient optical
phenomena that take place in the spatial-temporal dynamics of
ultrashort pulses. The interplay of diffractive and dispersive
phenomena is examined. They include coupled processes of amplitude
and phase reshaping, spectral variations and polarity reversal for
different types of light pulses. Reflection and refraction effects
that take place at the interface between media with time-dependent
dielectric susceptibilities are also discussed. principles of
optical coherence tomography (OCT). This is a relatively new
discipline with important potential applications in macropscopic,
microscopic and endoscopic imaging. The article begins with a brief
summary of the field and then describes various OCT interferometer
configurations and discusses basic sample signal extraction
techiques. The article also covers subjects such as contrast
generation techniques, resolution, signal processing techiques for
image display, image enhancement, speckle suppression and OCT
detection sensitivity. A description of optical delay lines used in
OCT is also presented. concerned with modulation instability (MI)
of electromagnetic waves in inhomogeneous and in discrete media.
The article pays special attention to the MI of electromagnetic
waves in nonlinear optical fibres with periodic amplification,
dispersion and birefringence. The MI in random media is also
covered. Other topics discussed in this article are discrete
nonlinear systems with cubic, quadratic and vectorial interactions
and nonlinear optical systems such as tunnel-coupled filters. Some
of the readers may note that authors from six different countries
have contributed to this volume, thus helping to maintain the
international character of this series.
