Nonlinear Optics in Telecommunications
Broader bandwidths, denser channel spacing, and higher signal intensities all makes nonlinear effects more critical to the performance of telecommunications systems. This comprehensive and didactic overview explores the nonlinear effects from a physical p

Advanced Texts in Physics This program of advanced texts covers a broad spectrum of topics which are of current and emerging interest in physics. Each book provides a comprehensive and yet accessible introduction to a field at the forefront of modern research. As such, these texts are intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students at the MS and PhD level; however, research scientists seeking an introduction to particular areas of physics will also benefit from the titles in this collection.

Preface
In today's backbone networks, data signals are almost exclusively transmitted by optical carriers in fibers. The continents and the whole world come closer together by a large number of optical fibers lying on the bottom of the oceans. Applications like the internet demand an increase of the available bandwidth in the
