We present a detailed overview of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in single-mode
optical fibers. The review is divided into two parts. In the first part, we discuss the …

A review of optical fiber sensing demonstrations based on photonic crystal fibers is
presented. The text is organized in five main sections: the first three deal with sensing …

In almost all areas of daily life the demands on the communications infrastructure increased
dramatically. With regard to the volume of data that has to be transmitted, no matter whether …

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

Brillouin scattering properties in a perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fiber (POF)
with 120 μ m core diameter were experimentally investigated using a laser with an operating …

We investigate the modulational instability (MI) of a continuous wave (cw) under the
combined effects of higher-order dispersions, self steepening and self-frequency shift, cubic …

The dependence of the Brillouin frequency shift on strain in a photonic crystal fiber (PCF)
was measured at a wavelength of 1320 nm for the first time to the authors' knowledge …

We demonstrate a four-wave-mixing based wavelength converter using a 15-m highly
nonlinear holey fiber (HF) with a high stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) threshold. Error …

The presence of wavelength-scale holes in the transverse profile of a holey fibre can lead to
novel optical properties that cannot be achieved in more conventional forms of optical fibre …

Four-wave mixing instabilities are theoretically studied for continuous wave propagation in
ultrasmall core photonic-crystal and tapered fibers. The waveguide, or geometrical …
