This book, published in 2007, provides comprehensive coverage of
the theory and practice of OPAs and related devices, including
fiber optical parametric oscillators (OPOs). After introducing the
field, the theory and techniques behind all types of fiber OPAs are
covered starting from first principles - topics include the scalar
and vector OPA theory; the nonlinear Schrodinger equation; OPO
theory; and quantum noise figure of fiber OPAs. Challenges of
making fiber OPAs practical for a number of applications are
discussed, and a survey of the state-of-the-art in feasibility
demonstrations and performance evaluations is provided. The
capabilities and limitations of OPAs; the potential applications
for OPAs and OPOs, and prospects for future developments in the
field are discussed. Theoretical tools developed in this text can
also be applied to other areas of nonlinear optics. This is a
valuable resource for researchers, advanced practitioners, and
graduate students in optoelectronics.
