This book provides an updated description of the most relevant
types of highly nonlinear fibers. It also describes some of their
actual applications for nonlinear optical signal processing.
Multiple types of highly nonlinear fibers are considered, such as
silica-based conventional highly nonlinear fibers, tapered fibers,
photonic crystal fibers, and fibers made of highly nonlinear
materials, namely lead-silicate, tellurite, bismuth oxide, and
chalcogenide glasses. Several nonlinear phenomena occurring on such
highly nonlinear fibers are described and used to realize different
functions in the area of all-optical signal processing. Describes
several nonlinear phenomena occurring on optical fibers, namely
nonlinear phase modulation, parametric and stimulated scattering
processes, optical solitons, and supercontinuum generation.
Discusses different types of highly nonlinear fibers, namely
silica-based conventional highly nonlinear fibers, tapered fibers,
and photonic crystal fibers. Examines fibers made of highly
nonlinear materials, namely lead-silicate, tellurite, bismuth
oxide, and chalcogenide glasses. Describes the application of
several nonlinear phenomena occurring on highly nonlinear fibers to
realize different functions in the area of all-optical signal
processing, namely optical amplification, multiwavelength sources,
pulse generation, optical regeneration, wavelength conversion, and
optical switching. Mario F. S. Ferreira received his PhD degree in
1992 in physics from the University of Aveiro, Portugal, where he
is now a professor in the Physics Department. Between 1990 and
1991, he was at the University of Essex, UK, performing
experimental work on external cavity semiconductor lasers and
nonlinear optical fiber amplifiers. His research interests have
been concerned with the modeling and characterization of
multisection semiconductor lasers, quantum well lasers, optical
fiber amplifiers and lasers, soliton propagation, nanophotonics,
optical sensors, polarization, and nonlinear effects in optical
fibers. He has written more than 400 scientific journal and
conference publications and several books in the area of
mathematical physics, optics, and photonics. He has served as chair
and committee member of multiple international conferences, as well
as guest editor and advisory board member of several international
journals.
