- City College of the City Univ. of New York, NY (US)
Contents: Theory of Self-Phase Modulation and Spectral Broadening. - Supercontinuum Generation in Condensed Matter. - Ultrashort Pulse Propagation in Nonlinear Dispersive Fibers. - Cross-Phase Modulations: A New Technique for Controlling the Spectral Temporal, and Spatial Properties of Ultrashort Pulses. - Simple Models of Self-Phase and Induced-Phase Modulation. - Self-Steepening of Optical Pulses. - Self-Focusing and Continuum Generation in Gases. - Utilization of UV and IR Supercontinua in Gas-Phase Subpicosecond Kinetic Spectroscopy. - Applicatons of Supercontinuum: Present and Future. - Pulse Compression in Single-Mode Fibers. Nonlinear optics is one of the most important fields of science and engineering, covering the generation, transmission, control of the whole spectrum of laser pulses in solids, liquids, gases, and fibers. In turn, one of the most important ultrafast nonlinear optical processes in the supercontinuum generation - the production of intense ultrafast broadband white light'' pulses. This book is intended to fill the need for both scientists and graduate students for a single source book containing the most necessary and relevant material on supercontinuum technology. It reviews the basic principles, surveys research results, and presents the current thinking of experts in the supercontinuum field.
