Fundamentals, Fabrication Techniques and Physical Properties

Omtale

This book discusses the theories, fabrication techniques, physical properties, operating characteristics, and current technology associated with fiber laser and amplifier devices. Optical properties of rare-earth-doped glasses and rare-earth doped infrared-transmitting glass fibers are described as well as CW Silica Fiber Lasers and broadband fiber sources. Finally, Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers, including basic physics, characteristics, and recent advances are discussed.
