  2. 1. Nonlinear Propagation of Optical Pulses and Beams

    Author : Magnus Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; self-phase modulation; optical wave breaking; paraxial-ray approximation; stimulated Raman scattering; nonlinear Schrödinger equation; optical collapse; modulational instability; higher-order dispersion; optical fibers; saturable nonlinearity; Kerr-nonlinearity; self-trapping; group-velocity dispersion; optical solitons; self-focusing;

    Abstract : The propagation of optical beams and pulses under the influence of nonlinear effects is characterized by a rich variety of phenomena and many potentially important applications. We analyse two main topics in this context: nonlinear beam propagation, and nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers. READ MORE

  4. 2. Nonlinear intrachannel distortion in high-speed optical transmission systems

    Author : Pontus Johannisson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; all-optical regeneration; nonlinear optics; fiber optics; self-phase modulation; cross-phase modulation; ghost pulses; intrachannel four-wave mixing; timing jitter;

    Abstract : The Kerr nonlinearity in optical fibres tends to generate signal distortion in dispersion-managed fibre-optic communication systems. Within a wavelength channel, the resulting intrachannel effects are timing jitter, i.e. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nonlinear response in engineered optical materials

    Author : Gustav Strömqvist; Valdas Pasiskevicius; Peter Smith; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nonlinear optics; nonlinear index of refraction; double tungstates; periodic poling; KTiOPO4; quasi-phase matching; parametric down-conversion; mirrorless optical parametric oscillators;

    Abstract : Material and structure engineering are increasingly employed in active optical media,in this context defined as media capable of providing laser or/and optical parametric gain. For laser materials, the main aim of the engineering is to tailor the absorption and emission cross sections in order to optimise the laser performance. READ MORE

  6. 4. All-optical nonlinearity mitigation in fiber-optic communications

    Author : Henrik Eliasson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fiber-optic communications; phase-sensitive amplifiers; optical phase conjugation; nonlinear optics;

    Abstract : The two main factors limiting the data throughput in modern fiber-optic communication links are the noise added by amplifiers and the nonlinear response of the optical fiber due to the Kerr effect. Today there are communication systems operating remarkably close to the limits set by these two factors. READ MORE
