Nonlinear Fibre Optics

The field of nonlinear fibre optics has grown substantially since the first edition of "Nonlinear Fibre Optics", published in 1989. Like the first edition, this second edition is a comprehensive, tutorial and up-to-date account of nonlinear optical phenomena in fibre optics. It synthesizes widely scattered research material and presents it in an accessible manner for students and researchers already engaged in or wishing to enter the field of nonlinear fibre optics. Particular attention is paid to the importance of nonlinear effects in the design of optical fibre communication systems. This is a completely new book containing either new sections or major revisions in every chapter.
