Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, the use of fiber lasers in engineering applications has gradually become established as an engineering discipline on its own. The development of fiber lasers is mainly the result of studies from various domains like photonics, optical sensing, fiber optics, nonlinear optics, and telecommunication. Though many excellent books exist on each of these subjects, and several have been written specifically to address lasers and fiber lasers, it is still difficult to find one book where the diverse core of subjects that are central to the study of fiber laser systems are presented in simple and straight forward way. Fiber Lasers: Fundamentals with MATLAB Modelling, is an introduction to the fundamentals of fiber lasers. It provides clear explanations of physical concepts supporting the field of fiber lasers. Fiber lasers’ characteristics are analyzed theoretically through simulations derived from numerical models. The authors cover fundamental principles involved in the generation of laser light through both continuous-wave (CW) and pulsing. It also covers experimental configuration and characterization for both CW and Q-switching. The authors describe the simulation of fiber laser systems and propose numerical modelling of various fiber laser schemes. MATLAB® modelling and numerical computational methods are used throughout the book to simulate different fiber laser system configurations. This book will be highly desirable and beneficial for both academics and industry professionals to have ample examples of fiber laser approaches that are well thought out and fully integrated with the subjects covered in the text. This book is written to address these needs.

Download or read book Optical Communication Systems written by Andrew Ellis and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telecommunications have underpinned social interaction and economic activity since the 19th century and have been increasingly reliant on optical fibers since their initial commercial deployment by BT in 1983. Today, mobile phone networks, data centers, and broadband services that facilitate our entertainment, commerce, and increasingly health provision are built on hidden optical fiber networks. However, recently it emerged that the fiber network is beginning to fill up, leading to the talk of a capacity crunch where the capacity still grows but struggles to keep up with the increasing demand. This book, featuring contributions by the suppliers of widely deployed simulation software and academic authors, illustrates the origins of the limited performance of an optical fiber from the engineering, physics, and information theoretic viewpoints. Solutions are then discussed by pioneers in each of the respective fields, with near-term solutions discussed by industrially based authors, and more speculative high-potential solutions discussed by leading academic groups.

Download or read book Optical Fiber Telecommunications VIB written by Yoshinari Awaji and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-05-11 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-core fiber (MCF) transmission technologies have been widely studied as the simplest form of space-division multiplexing (SDM). Many types of MCFs exist,but the most common is “Uncoupled MCF” where each individual core is assumed to be an independent optical path. The key issue in these systems is how to suppress the inter-core crosstalk and the coupling/de-coupling mechanism. Currently, many MCF varieties, coupling methods, splicing techniques, and transmission schemes have been proposed and demonstrated and despite many of the component technologies still being in the development stage, MCF systems already present the capability for huge transmission capacity. In this chapter, these component technologies and early experimental trials of MCF transmission are reviewed. At first, we provide an overview of medium- to long-haul MCF transmission and theories. Secondly, coupling technologies between MCF-SMF and MCF-MCF are reviewed. Finally, several experimental demonstrations, including transmission exceeding 100Tb/s and over 1000km, are described.
