Nonlinear fiber optics concerns with the nonlinear optical phenomena occurring inside
optical fibers. Although the field ofnonlinear optics traces its beginning to 1961, when a ruby …

The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very
important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer networking and …

This book reflects the latest advances in nonlinear optics. Besides the simple, strict
mathematical deduction, it also discusses the experimental verification and possible future …

A novel concept for an all-optical transistor is proposed and verified numerically. This
concept relies on cross-phase modulation between a signal and a control pulse. Other than …

Nonlinear optical studies of periodic dielectric structures have blossomed in the past two
decades. New fabrication techniques are producing fiber grating and multidimensional …

We briefly review the ideas that have shaped modern optics and have led to various
applications of light ranging from spectroscopy to astrophysics, and street lights to quantum …

We discuss experimental results that demonstrate the existence of Bragg grating solitons in
fiber gratings at high intensities. These solitons can exist because of the balance of the …

A configuration of all-optical switching based on a Signac loop mirror that incorporates an
ytterbium-doped fiber and uniform fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed in this paper. It is …

We propose a new optical bistable device (OBD), which is constructed by connecting two
symmetrical fiber Bragg gratings with a ytterbium-doped fiber to form a nonlinear Fabry …

We study solitons (strictly speaking, solitary waves) in a model of two linearly coupled
waveguides with the Kerr nonlinearity and resonant gratings, neglecting the material …
