Nonlinear effects in Optical Fibers


On this International Year of Light, the SPIE Student Chapter is delighted to welcome Marió F. S. Ferreira<https://spie.org/x17389.xml>, Professor at the University of Aveiro in Portugal, as the SPIE Visiting Lecturer to the School of Physics and Astronomy. We are pleased to invite you to attend the public lecture he will be giving, and the lunch the Chapter will be hosting afterwards.

If you wish to attend the lecture and enjoy the meal with us, please click on this link<mailto:mj35+lunch at st-andrews.ac.uk>.
This will open a draft message that you should send, along with information regarding your dietary requirements, if any. Although the lecture will be open to all, and the lunch free, the order will be estimated from the answers we get so do not miss this opportunity to register!

Anyone who would like to meet with Prof Ferreira please write Maxime Jacquet<mailto:mj35+meet at st-andrews.ac.uk> as soon as possible to schedule a suitable time.

Below is the abstract to Prof Ferreira's lecture:

A brief introduction to nonlinear optics is provided by presenting basic models for the nonlinear susceptibility, showing how they are incorporated into the wave equation and how the wave equation is solved. Then, a few nonlinear interactions that involve non-resonant processes are described that are important in fiber transmission. These include self- and cross-phase modulation and four-wave mixing. The conditions for the formation and the main properties of optical solitons are also discussed. Next, a few nonlinear processes that are based on some form of material resonance are described. The major focus is on effects by which the fiber acts as a gain medium, namely stimulated Raman scattering and stimulated Brillouin scattering.

We look forward to seeing you on December 11,

Warm regards,

Maxime Jacquet
for the SPIE Chapter of the University of St Andrews
