Optical Solitons Theoretical Challenges and Industrial Perspectives Les Houches Workshop, September 28-October 2, 1998

This book presents an overview of recent theoretical & experimental advances in the field of optical solitons, ranging from the mathematical foundations of integrability theory to the rapidly evolving technology of fiber soliton-based telecommunication systems. The subjects covered in the book can be broadly grouped into four main categories: optical soliton theory, fiber soliton telecommunications, optical soliton generation methods, & all-optical information processing via spatial solitons. This book should provide an interesting reference both for postgraduate students starting their research in the field, & researchers actively involved in nonlinear optics & optical communications.Zakharov, Vladimir E. is the author of 'Optical Solitons Theoretical Challenges and Industrial Perspectives Les Houches Workshop, September 28-October 2, 1998' with ISBN 9783540663140 and ISBN 3540663142.
