Fiber Optic Pulse Compression: Numerical techniques and applications with MATLAB(R)

Applications of ultrashort pulses at different pumping wavelengths in various field of science and technology needs simple stat- of-the-art setups for the generation of high quality short temporal duration pulses. This book provides information on the existing optical pulse compression techniques, drawbacks occurred in each technique through the respecting nonlinear phenomenon responsible for the pulse propagation.

Generating high energy few-cycle pulses in the visible and near-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum has become great interest for numerous applications. Hence, it requires pulse compression techniques to get few-cycle pulses at any desired wavelength with greater simplicity. There is no book currently available in market to understand compression techniques and their physical mechanism through optical fiber. This book provides information on various pulse compression techniques in the aspect of theoretical modelling as well as experiment which helps the reader to acquire a knowledge on the basic concepts of pulse compression.

This book describes the existing nonlinear pulse compression techniques to achieve femtosecond/attosecond pulses. It includes the topics such as photonic crystal fiber, pulse propagation in the fiber, numerical tools for the analysis of pulse propagation and compression, applications of ultrashort pulses, ultrashort pulse generation techniques, merits and demerits of each compression scheme.

The key audiences for this book include students, researchers, and scientists in photonics and nonlinear fiber optics.
