Based on recent research and the latest developments, this book presents techniques and applications of ultra-short pulse lasers. It describes principal methods for mode-locking of lightwave and provides the operations of the laser source in both linear and nonlinear regimes. The book discusses the fundamental aspects for understanding the phenomena of lightwave pulse sequence whose width is extremely short. It also covers applications of such laser source in high speed communication systems and networks are described so that readers can be familiar with technological development for next generations of the optical Internet.

Recent progress in optical communications has focused on the next generation of the Internet—the Optical Internet. From fundamental to modern aspects, this book provides an understanding of lightwave communication systems in which the lightwave is used as the carrier to transport information over the optical guided media. The text presents optical communication techniques and applications, employing single mode optical fibers as the transmission medium. Additional topics include optical transmitters, optical receivers, optical fiber amplifiers, and optical fiber communication systems. The author also offers both MATLAB ® and Simulink models to illustrate methods.

Spanning the current transitional period, this book addresses the merging techniques of processing and manipulating signals propagating in the optical domain. The author demonstrates the representation of photonic circuits using signal flow graph technique adapted for photonic domain. He describes differentiators and integrators and their applications for the generation of solitons, then covers the application of the solitons in optically amplified fiber transmission systems. The book illustrates the compensation dispersion and the design of optical filters using photonic processor techniques, and the filtering of microwave signals in the optical domain.
