Be cautious! a lot of errors
One of the best book I've ever red on nonlinear optics.
A quantitative text on nonlinear fiber optics The first chapter is pretty basic, and ismostly review material that describes things like the index cross sectionin an optical fiber, material issues, fabrication, chromatic dispersion,modal birefringence (which leads to polarization mode dispersion), nonlinear refraction and stimulated inelastic scattering.The review here ispretty brief (the chapter has only about 25 pages). Chapter two developsthe mathematics of wave propagation in optical fibers, including themathematics of mode propagation and basic propagation equations derivedfrom Maxwell's equations.This chapter actually develops severaldifferent differential equations; each based on various assumptionsapplicable to different pulse widths.These differential equations thenform the basis for later investigations into various non-linear effectsdiscussed in the book.Chapter two is thus a foundational chapter andshould be read and understood completely before moving on.There is abrief discussion at the end of the chapter that describes numericalmethods. Chapter three describes group-velocity dispersion, includingchromatic dispersion as well as dispersion-induced pulse broadening andhigher-order dispersion and their implications for optical systems. Chapter four introduces self-phase modulation and self steepening. Chapter five describes optical solitons (including fundamental andhigher order solitions), soliton lasers, and soliton-based communicationssystems. Chapter 6 describes some techniques for optical pulsecompression using gratings and chirped optical pulses.It also describessoliton-effect compressors. Chapter 7 is devoted to the subject ofcross-phase modulation, chapter 8 to stimulated Raman scattering, chapter 9to stimulated Brillouin scattering, and chapter 10 to parametric processes,including four-wave mixing, parametric gain, and phase matching. The bookis quantitative, making (as you'd expect in a graduate text) liberal use ofmathematics.The level of mathematics, however, should be well within thegrasp of senior college students majoring in physics, engineering, ormathematics. The subject, however, is non-trivial, and you should expectthis book to present a real intellectual challenge in reading andunderstanding all the details. I took about six months to finish the book,including time taken to fill in some details in the derivations and to plotsome of the equations on my computer. Agrawal makes good use of figuresand illustrations, which I found particularly helpful.The book also hasan adequate index that makes the book more valuable as a desk reference. Each chapter cites a wealth of reference material in the literature sothat any subject covered within its pages can be studied in more detail andfrom the original sources. I would not make this a first study ofnonlinear optics (although it was for me).Rather, I'd look for texts thatdiscuss nonlinear effects qualitatively, and I'd try to expose myself toexperiments that illustrate these nonlinear effects to gain a morequalitative understanding before diving into Agrawal's mathematicalderivations.With a more qualitative basis first acquired, however,Agrawal's book is an invaluable tool for understanding the most obscurenonlinear effects in optical fibers.
The definitive sourcebook for nonlinear fibre phenomenon It starts off with a quickreview of linear fibre characteristics (dispersion, loss, fabrication) anddevotes a chapter each to a systematic study of how dispersion withoutnonlinearity and nonlinearity without dispersion affect pulse propagation.Higher order nonlinearity and dispersion are also covered. From thisintroduction, the problem of having both nonlinearity and dispersionpresent is introduced, leading to solitons. This treatment does not godeeply into the algebraic solution of the NLS equation, but gives a goodbackground of the properties of solitons. Several other topics arecovered which span a broad array of important nonlinear phenomenon inoptical fibres under active research. This seems to be the book to buy ifyou need to know about solitons and other nonlinear effects, and iscontinually referenced. ... Read more |

list price: US$99.00 -- used & new: US$79.11 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 3642066763 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description The formalism of quantum optics is elucidated in the early chapters and the main techniques are introduced. These are applied in the later chapters to problems such as squeezed states of light, resonance fluorescence, laser theory, quantum theory of four-wave mixing, quantum non-demolition measurements, Bell's inequalities, and atom optics. Experimental results are used to illustrate the theory throughout. This yields the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of experiment and theory in quantum optics in any textbook.

Too much information without intermediate steps..
Blend of fundamental and practical
Comprehensive, but more mathematics than physics However, we think the book is not suitable as an introduction to the subject, since the reader is expected to be familiar with both the basic mathematical and notational concepts of the field (which are often introduced without any explanation or motivation). Probably, Mandel and Wolf's "Optical coherence and quantum optics", or H.-A. Bachor's recently published "A guide to experiments in quantum optics" are more appropriate for a first encounter with quantum optics. -H.K. Nienhuys, S.Woutersen, F. van den Broek, H.J. Bakker. ...

Editorial Review Product Description This text offers an in-depth treatment of integrated and fiber optics, providing graduate students, engineers, and scientists with a solid foundation of the principles, capabilities, uses, and limitations of guided-wave optic devices and systems. In addition to the transmission properties of dielectric waveguides and optical fibers, this book covers the principles of directional couplers, guided-wave gratings, arrayed-waveguide gratings, and fiber optic polarization components. The material is fully classroom-tested and carefully structured to help readers grasp concepts quickly and apply their knowledge to solving problems. Following an overview, including important nomenclature and notations, the text investigates three major topics: Each chapter starts with basic principles and gradually builds to more advanced concepts and applications. Compelling reasons for including each topic are given, detailed explanations of each concept are provided, and steps for each derivation are carefully set forth. Readers learn how to solve complex problems using physical concepts and simplified mathematics. Illustrations throughout the text aid in understanding key concepts, while problems at the end of each chapter test the readers' grasp of the material. The author has designed the text for upper-level undergraduates, graduate students in physics and electrical and computer engineering, and scientists. Each chapter is self-contained, enabling instructors to choose a subset of topics to match their particular course needs. Researchers and practitioners can also use the text as a self-study guide to gain a better understanding of photonic and fiber optic devices and systems. |

Editorial Review Product Description The book has been kept as simple as possible and is liberally complemented with diagrams designed to be easily understood and memorised. Only the most fundamental and clinically useful mathematical formulae are quoted, and the optical principles are applied to clinical situations. Ophthalmology examinations have changed substantially since the last edition was written and a total rewrite of this essential guide has become necessary. The third edition has been made more comprehensive and detailed to keep up with these changes and incorporates three new chapters: refractive surgery, contact lenses and lasers. Other new material includes photometry, visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, colour vision, absorptive lenses, fluorescence, ultrasound, and the specular microscope. Customer Reviews (2)
