<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Applications of Nonlinear Fiber Optics, Third Edition</i> presents sound coverage of the fundamentals of lightwave technology, along with material on pulse compression techniques and rare-earth-doped fiber amplifiers and lasers. The book's chapters include information on fiber-optic communication systems and the ultrafast signal processing techniques that make use of nonlinear phenomena in optical fibers. This book is an ideal reference for R&D engineers working on developing next generation optical components, scientists involved with research on fiber amplifiers and lasers, graduate students, and researchers working in the fields of optical communications and quantum information.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This third edition of what is arguably the most read book on applications of nonlinear fiber optics was published last year, twelve years after the work's second edition. Both the book itself (in its earlier editions) and the author are well-known and respected, to the point where a review seems almost unnecessary. Still, much has happened in the field in the meantime, and the new edition includes extensive updates to several chapters, on topics ranging from photonic-crystal fibers to fiber amplifiers to quantum communications. The chapter references are extensive and very much up to date. The ebook edition reviewed included several color charts and figures and the expected heavy-duty mathematics of nonlinear optics. An index of terms and a list of acronyms help readers find their way in the book. Each chapter includes several exercises, making it particularly useful as a textbook for advanced undergraduates or graduate students. Of course, the book is equally helpful as a reference for professionals in the field, especially if accompanied by the other Agrawal classic, <i>Nonlinear Fiber Optics, the Sixth Edition</i> of which was released in 2019. --<b>Optics and Photonics News</b><br>
