Solitons :nonlinear pulses and beamsby Nail N. Akhmediev
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:There is currently a high level of interest in the field of nonlinear guided wave optics with the availability of nonlinear materials and their use in new areas of application. This is particularly the case for solitons and other types of nonlinear pulses in optical fibers, high capacity dispersion-free communications. Further, soliton-like beams in highly nonlinear materials, such as organic polymers, are being studied with a view to using them for fast-switching purposes in devices where the light creates its own guiding channel. Written by two authors who are at the forefront of this research, Solitons provides a thorough treatment of the applications of switching devices. It presents the results of the most up to date research on the subject in an accessible manner and adopts a unified approach to solitons in fibers and the devices which use them. The book is an essential reference work for both professional engineers working in optoelectronics and telecommunications companies and graduate students and researchers in the area. Book News Annotation:Researchers engaged in the subject summarize the applications of
non-linear light pulses in optical fibers, and spatial solitons in
switching devices for engineers in optoelectronics and
telecommunications and researchers and graduate students in those
fields. The form of light propagation can be used to achieve very
high capacity dispersion-free communications, and soliton-like beams
in non-linear materials such as organic polymers are being
investigated for fast-switching in devices where the light creates
its own guiding channel. After an introduction to the basic
equations, the discussion includes non-Kerr-law nonlinearities,
multiple-port linear devices made from solitons, birefringent media,
pulses in nonlinear couplers, beam dynamics and planar nonlinear
guided waves. The treatment is also suitable for self-study or
classroom teaching at the graduate level or above.
