Nonlinear Fiber Optics

Nonlinear interactions in fibers, primarily for applications to all- optical switching devices, have been investigated. 1 The theory of all-optical switching with gain in erbium-doped dual core fibers has been developed. 2 Several and various experiments were performed in nonlinear fiber rocking filters. 3 A femtosecond infrared 1650 nm source has been built. 4 An APM color center laser 300 fsec - 1 psec pulse width has been constructed 5 A new mechanism for soliton compression has been demonstrated. 6 A dual frequency, cw color center laser has been constructed. 7 The periodic evolution into dark solitons of a pulsed two color source has been demonstrated. 8 Photoinduced gratings in Ge doped sol-gel films have been demonstrated. 9 Nonlinear fiber-optic experiments in tapered fibers have been attempted....
