Fundamentals of Optical Fibers

TL;DR: In this paper, the background, optical properties, and applications of low-loss negative curvature hollow core fiber are reviewed, and data on spectral attenuation are collated and extended.

TL;DR: A new numerical solution method for the system of equations that describes nonlinear multimode propagation, the generalized multimode nonlinear Schrödinger equation is demonstrated, which features a significant parallel computing speed-up on modern graphical processing units, translating to orders-of-magnitude speed- up over the conventionally-used split-step Fourier method.

TL;DR: Applications to ultrafast fiber sources and connections to spatiotemporal modulation and conical wave instability are discussed and supercontinuum in graded-index multimode fibers is studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase response of a single-mode polymer optical fiber for large-strain applications was derived using a second order strain assumption and shown to be important at strain magnitudes as small as 1%.

TL;DR: The second edition of this respected text considerably expands the original and reflects the tremendous advances made in the discipline since 1968 as discussed by the authors, with a special emphasis on applications to diffraction, imaging, optical data processing, and holography.

TL;DR: In this article, a periodic array of microscopic air holes that run along the entire fiber length are used to guide light by corralling it within a periodic arrays of microscopic holes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the index of refraction of optical quality fused silica (SiO2) was determined for 60 wavelengths from 0.21 to 3.71 μ at 20°C.

TL;DR: The fabrication of a new type of optical waveguide: the photonic crystal fiber that supports a single robust low-loss guided mode over a very broad spectral range of at least 458-1550 nm.
