Optical nonlinearities give rise to many ubiquitous effects in optical fibers. These effects are
interesting in themselves and can be detrimental in optical communications, but they also …

Recent studies on two aspects of silica glass as a photonic material will be described. Part A
of this review will be focused on structural disorder and structural relaxations in silica glass …

Materials chemistry and the pursuit of new compounds through exploratory synthesis are
having a strong impact in many technological fields. The field of nonlinear optics is directly …

Evidence that a frozen-in space charge field causes the appearance of high quadratic
nonlinearities in thermally poled glass is obtained from experimental tests of the ratio of …

It is shown that mutual trap** of the fundamental and second-harmonic waves in a
dispersive medium with quadratic nonlinearity supports a variety of solitary waves including …

Stoichiometric silicon nitride (Si3N4) is one of the most mature integrated photonic platforms
for linear and nonlinear optical applications on-chip. However, because it is a …

Molten alloys under high pressure were used to obtain fibers with long internal electrodes
that are solid at room temperature. An integrated Mach–Zehnder interferometer was …

We present experimental results on supercontinuum generation in a highly birefringent
microstructured fiber. We show that such a fiber offers clear advantages for continuum …

Measurements of the transient behavior of both the second-harmonic generation signal and
the poling current for type-II fused silica samples under a variety of poling histories are …

This book covers a broad spectrum of the silicon-based materials and their device
applications. This book provides a broad coverage of the silicon-based materials including …
