TLDR
Recent advances in developing nonlinear optical techniques for processing serial digital information at high speed are reviewed and expected to become important in future high-capacity communications networks.Abstract:
Recent advances in developing nonlinear optical techniques for processing serial digital information at high speed are reviewed. The field has been transformed by the advent of semiconductor nonlinear devices capable of operation at 100 gigabits per second and higher, well beyond the current speed limits of commercial electronics. These devices are expected to become important in future high-capacity communications networks by allowing digital regeneration and other processing functions to be performed on data signals “on the fly” in the optical domain.read more

TL;DR: Simulations show that the ring lasers with extremely small size and low operating power presented here have the potential for much smaller dimensions and switching times, and large numbers of such memory elements can be densely integrated and interconnected on a photonic integrated circuit.

Dispersion of bound electron nonlinear refraction in solids
TL;DR: In this article, a two-hand model is used to calculate the scaling and spectrum of the nonlinear absorption of semiconductors and wide-gap optical solids, and the bound electronic nonlinear refractive index n/sub 2/ is obtained using a Kramers-Kronig transformation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the constitutive relation between quantum mechanics and optical properties of artificial materials has been discussed, including the susceptibility tensors, symmetry properties, and wave propagation and processes in nonlinear media.
Book
Optical Fiber Telecommunications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the literature in the field of fiber computing. But they do not discuss the theoretical aspects of fiber technologies. And they focus on the use of light-emitting Diodes (LEDs) for telecommunication.
