<p>Since the 4th edition appeared, a fast evolution of the field has occurred. The fifth edition of this classic work provides an up-to-date account of the nonlinear phenomena occurring inside optical fibers, the basis of all our telecommunications infastructure, as well as being used in the medical field. </p> <p>Reflecting the big developments in research, this new edition includes major new content: slow light effects- Which offers a reduction in noise and power consumption, and more ordered network traffic- stimulated Brillouin scattering, vectorial treatment of highly nonlinear fibers, and a brand new chapter on supercontinuum generation in optical fibers.</p><ul><li>Continues to be industry bestseller providing unique source of comprehensive coverage on the subject of nonlinear fiber optics </li><li>Updated coverage of intrapulse Raman scattering, four-wave mixing, and Harmonic Generation</li><li>Includes a new chapter excusively devoted to supercontinuum generation in optical fibers<br></li></ul><br><br>
