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 …

In its 60 years of existence, the field of nonlinear optics has gained momentum especially
over the past two decades thanks to major breakthroughs in material science and …

The Year 2022 marks 100 years since Leon Brillouin predicted and theoretically described
the interaction of optical waves with acoustic waves in a medium. Accordingly, this resonant …

Theoretical calculations supported by numerical simulations show that utilization of the
nonlinear dependence of the index of refraction on intensity makes possible the …

Optical-based rotation sensors have revolutionized precision, high-sensitivity inertial
