High‐power laser sources are widely used in industrial precision processing and act as a
new platform for strong‐field physics research using peak power over petawatt. This review …

Over the past two decades, fiber laser technologies have matured to such an extent that they
have captured a large portion of the commercial laser marketplace. Yet, there still is a …

A comprehensive resource to designing and constructing analog photonic links capable of
high RF performance Fundamentals of Microwave Photonics provides a comprehensive …

We present a detailed overview of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in single-mode
optical fibers. The review is divided into two parts. In the first part, we discuss the …

We analyze the scalability of diffraction-limited fiber lasers considering thermal, non-linear,
damage and pump coupling limits as well as fiber mode field diameter (MFD) restrictions …

An applications-oriented review of optical parametric amplifiers in fiber communications is
presented. The emphasis is on parametric amplifiers in general and single pumped …

Optical fibres have for almost three decades been fabricated of solid glass. It was, therefore,
a radical change that took place, when researchers in the late 90's started to fabricate hair …

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), as one type of third-order nonlinear optics effect, is
extensively exploited and rapidly developed in the field of lasers and optoelectronics. A …

Broader bandwidths, denser channel spacing, and higher signal intensities all makes
nonlinear effects more critical to the performance of telecommunications systems. This …

We discuss continuous-wave single-frequency master-oscillator power-amplifier (MOPA)
sources based on ytterbium-doped fibers (YDFs) with particular attention to their recent …
