Describes the many different types of optical fibres and their properties, and presents in a compact form their relevant physical foundations. Both passive and active (amplifying) fibres are discussed, and an overview on fibre nonlinearities and the application of active fibres in amplifiers and lasers is included.

Offers an overview on the types of lasers and their key properties as well as an introduction into the physical and technological aspects of lasers. Apart from describing the basic principles, this title discusses the different properties of laser crystals, the impact of thermal effects on laser performance, and methods of wavelength tuning.
