Nonlinear fiber optics concerns with the nonlinear optical phenomena occurring inside
optical fibers. Although the field ofnonlinear optics traces its beginning to 1961, when a ruby …

Real‐time wideband digitizers are the key building block in many systems including
oscilloscopes, signal intelligence, electronic warfare, and medical diagnostics systems …

We experimentally demonstrate frequency translation of a nonclassical optical field via four-
wave mixing (Bragg-scattering process) in a photonic crystal fiber (PCF). The high …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews all-optical nonlinear signal processing devices that
relate to both chalcogenide glasses and highly nonlinear fibers, using both phase-and …

Phase-sensitive amplification (PSA) has the potential to improve significantly the
performance of optical communication systems. PSA is known to occur in??(2) devices, and …

Optical frequency conversion by four-wave mixing (Bragg scattering) in a fiber is considered.
If the frequencies and polarizations of the waves are chosen judiciously, Bragg scattering …

This book describes the fundamental aspects of nonlinear optics from basic principles to
applications. Starting from the polarization induced by an electric field in a material, it relates …

Optical parametric amplifiers rely on second-order susceptibility (three-wave mixing) or third-
order susceptibility (four-wave mixing) in a nonlinear process where the energy of incoming …

Quantum frequency conversion of single photons between wavelength bands is a key
enabler to realizing widespread quantum networks. We demonstrate the quantum frequency …

We demonstrate efficient four-wave mixing among different spatial modes in a 1-km long two-
mode fiber at telecommunication wavelengths. Two pumps excite the LP_01 and LP_11 …
