Book excerpt: The fiber laser, with its humble beginning in the late 1980s, has undergone tremendous development in the past decade or so, transforming itself from a research curiosity to a major force in modern manufacturing. Today, it is revolutionizing our economy by fundamentally changing the way we mark, machine, and process materials on an industrial scale. The recent development of high-power fiber lasers is also fundamentally shaping a wide range of other areas from physical sciences and medicine to geology and space exploration. In the past few years, the tactical deployment of direct energy weapons based on fiber lasers has become a reality. The development of fiber lasers is rooted in a number of technical areas including optical materials, optical waveguide design, nonlinear optics, optical fiber fabrication, and optical characterization, in addition to optical fiber components, and fiber laser design and architecture. No comprehensive in-depth coverage of such diverse topical areas has appeared in a single book. Many important developments have taken place in the past decade in both academia and industry. This book comprehensively covers the basics, technology and applications of fiber lasers including up-to-date developments in both academia and industry and is aimed to serve as both an introduction and research aid for graduate students, engineers, and scientists who are new to this field and also for veterans in the field

Download or read book Power Scaling of Ultrashort Pulse Fiber Laser Systems written by Fabian Röser and published by . This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultrashort pulse sources have become a versatile tool for a wide range of applications ranging from fundamental science to industrial usage. Commonly used pulse sources as the Titanium doped sapphire laser are limited in average output power due to their susceptibility to thermo-optical effects. Clearly, many applications would greatly benefit from an increase in average power in terms of a lower processing time. The use of optical fibers as gain medium overcomes such thermo-optical limitations, but ultrashort pulse amplification is restricted due to the onset of nonlinear effects. Therefore major efforts have been made to develop fibers exhibiting low nonlinearity. One of the most successful types is the so called photonic crystal fiber featuring microstructured waveguides. This work is focused on the investigation of the viability of such fibers for the scaling of average power and pulse peak power in fiber based ultrashort pulse systems. Emphasis is placed on the development of an appropriate model of the pulse amplification process that enables to formulate design guidelines for fiber based ultrashort pulse amplification. These design guidelines and the implementation of microstructured fibers of extreme dimensions led to the experimental realization of fiber laser systems pushing the limits of both average power and pulse peak power. These experiments are described and discussed in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With optical fiber telecommunications firmly entrenched in the global information infrastructure, a key question for the future is how deeply will optical communications penetrate and complement other forms of communication (e.g., wireless access, on-premises networks, interconnects, and satellites). Optical Fiber Telecommunications, the seventh edition of the classic series that has chronicled the progress in the research and development of lightwave communications since 1979, examines present and future opportunities by presenting the latest advances on key topics such as: - Fiber and 5G-wireless access networks - Inter- and intra-data center communications - Free-space and quantum communication links Another key issue is the use of advanced photonics manufacturing and electronic signal processing to lower the cost of services and increase the system performance. To address this, the book covers: - Foundry and software capabilities for widespread user access to photonic integrated circuits - Nano- and microphotonic components - Advanced and nonconventional data modulation formats The traditional emphasis of achieving higher data rates and longer transmission distances are also addressed through chapters on space-division-multiplexing, undersea cable systems, and efficient reconfigurable networking. This book is intended as an ideal reference suitable for university and industry researchers, graduate students, optical systems implementers, network operators, managers, and investors. Quotes: "This book series, which owes much of its distinguished history to the late Drs. Kaminow and Li, describes hot and growing applied topics, which include long-distance and wideband systems, data centers, 5G, wireless networks, foundry production of photonic integrated circuits, quantum communications, and AI/deep-learning. These subjects will be highly beneficial for industrial R&D engineers, university teachers and students, and funding agents in the business sector." Prof. Kenichi IgaPresident (Retired), Tokyo Institute of Technology "With the passing of two luminaries, Ivan Kaminow and Tingye Li, I feared the loss of one of the premier reference books in the field. Happily, this new version comes to chronicle the current state-of-the-art and is written by the next generation of leaders. This is a must-have reference book for anyone working in or trying to understand the field of optical fiber communications technology."Dr. Donald B. Keck Vice President, Corning, Inc.
