Applications of Nonlinear Fiber Optics (Optics & Photonics Series)

The development of new highly nonlinear fibers - referred to as microstructured fibers, holey fibers and photonic crystal fibers - is the next generation technology for all optical signal processing and biomedical applications. This new edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate these key technology developments.
This book will be an ideal reference for R&D engineers working on developing next generation optical components; scientists involved with research on fiber amplifiers and lasers; graduate students and researchers working in the fields of optical communications and quantum information.
* The only book on how to develop nonlinear fiber optic applications
* Two new chapters on the latest developments; Highly Nonlinear Fibers and Quantum Applications
* Coverage of biomedical applications
