Nonlinear Fibre Optics (A volume in the Quantum Electronics Series.) - Hardcover

REVIEWS OF THE FIRST EDITION "This book is...timely and occupies a unique niche...On an absolute scale, it is an excellent book the same level as the very best books published to date on optical fiber and systems in general." - OPTICS AND PHOTONICS NEWS "This is a well written, self contained, and extensively referenced book. It is a useful reference for experts, and could well be used as a text for graduate courses...a welcome addition to the quantum electronics literature." - K.K.LEE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO, COLORADO SPRINGS

The field of nonlinear fibre optics has grown substantially since the first edition of "Nonlinear Fibre Optics", published in 1989. Like the first edition, this second edition is a comprehensive, tutorial and up-to-date account of nonlinear optical phenomena in fibre optics. It synthesizes widely scattered research material and presents it in an accessible manner for students and researchers already engaged in or wishing to enter the field of nonlinear fibre optics. Particular attention is paid to the importance of nonlinear effects in the design of optical fibre communication systems. This is a completely new book containing either new sections or major revisions in every chapter.
