The nonlinear propagation of coherent optical fields has been extensively explored in the
framework of nonlinear optics, while the linear propagation of incoherent fields has been …

High-power fiber lasers have seen tremendous development in the last decade, with output
powers exceeding multiple kilowatts from a single fiber. Ytterbium has been at the forefront …

Optical fiber telecommunications depend upon light traveling great distances through optical
fibers. As light travels it tends to disperse and this results in some degree of signal loss …

Broader bandwidths, denser channel spacing, and higher signal intensities all makes
nonlinear effects more critical to the performance of telecommunications systems. This …

A brief review is given of the state of the art in the research on the photosensitivity of fibres
and photoinduced fibre gratings. The most important properties of fibre gratings are …

Дан краткий обзор современного состояния исследований в области
фоточувствительности волоконных световодов и фотоиндуцированных волоконных …

Optical nonlinearities give rise to many ubiquitous effects in optical fibers. These effects are
interesting in themselves and can be detrimental in optical communications, but they also …

Lasers continue to be an amazingly robust field of activity. Anyone seeking a photon source
is now confronted with an enormous number of possible lasers and laser wavelengths to …

Raman-based technologies have enabled many ground-breaking scientific discoveries
related to surface science, single-molecule chemistry and biology. For example, researchers …

We report the first demonstration of a Raman fiber laser (RFL) emitting in the mid-infrared,
above 3 μm. The operation of a single-mode As_2S_3 chalcogenide glass based RFL at …
