Beschreibung
This research- and application-oriented book covers main topical areas of optical fibers. The selection of the chapters is weighted on technological and application-specific topics, very much a reflection of where research is heading to and what researchers are looking for. Chapters are arranged in a user-friendly format essentially self-contained and with extensive cross-references. They are organized in the following sections:- Optical Fiber Communication Editors: Ming-Jun Li and Chao Lu Solitons and Nonlinear Waves in Optical Fibers Editor: Boris A. Malomed Optical Fiber Fabrication Editor: Hairul Azhar Bin Abdul Rashid Active Optical Fibers Editor: Kyunghwan Oh Special Optical Fibers Editors: Perry Shum and Zhilin Xu Optical Fiber Measurement Editor: Jianzhong Zhang Optical Fiber Devices Editors: John Canning and Tuan Guo Optical Fiber Device Measurement Editor: Yanhua Luo Distributed Optical Fiber Sensing Editor: Yosuke Mizuno Optical Fiber Sensors for Industrial Applications Editor: Tong Sun OBE Polymer Optical Fiber Sensing Editor: Ginu Rajan Photonic Crystal Fiber Sensing Editor: D.

Autorenporträt
Prof. Gang-Ding Peng received the B.Sc. degree in physics from Fudan University, Shanghai, China, in 1982, and the M.Sc degree in applied physics and the Ph.D. degree in electronic engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China, in 1984 and 1987, respectively. From 1987 through 1988 he was a lecturer of the Jiao Tong University. He was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Optical Sciences Centre of the Australian National University, Canberra, from 1988-1991. He has been working with University of NSW in Sydney, Australia since 1991, was a Queen Elizabeth II Fellow from 1992-1996 and is currently a Professor in the same university. He is a fellow and life member of both OSA and SPIE. His research interests include silica and polymer optical fibers, optical fiber and waveguide devices, optical fiber sensors and nonlinear optics. He has worked in research and teaching in photonics and fiber optics for more than 30 years and maintained a high research profile internationally
