Many single-mode fiber components include some form of optics, such as lenses or mirrors, for collecting light from a source fiber or laser and concentrating it on a receiving fiber. For such components there is a direct and simple relationship betwe

By numerical simulations of the reflection of a (2-D) Gaussian beam from a nonlinear interface, we show several new features of the behavior of such an interface and resolve the difference between the results of two previous studies of this type. New

Graded-refractive-index-rod lenses (GRIN-rod lenses) have a number of features that make them particularly suitable for use in optical devices for manipulating and processing the optical signals in fiber communication systems. Such lenses can be ceme

The aberrations of graded-refractive-index-rod lenses (GRIN-rod lenses) are analyzed, with particular emphasis on the characteristics and parameter ranges of interest for various multimode optical fiber devices. Ray-tracing calculations are used to p

The capacity of optical fiber transmission systems could be increased by multiplexing several signals at different wavelengths on each fiber. This paper considers various multiplex system designs that might be used with multimode fiber transmission s

We develop a theory of the dynamics of optically induced conversion processes for samples of arbitrary optical thickness. The result is in the form of a simple first-order differential equation for the spatial variation of the state of the sample wit

The photodimers formed by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as anthracene, and their derivatives can be photodissociated to the original monomers. When the photodimer is held in a rigid matrix, the dimer can be remade efficiently because the two

We experimentally demonstrate a fundamentally new type of intrinsic optical bistability that requires no resonant optical cavity. Operation is based on mutual self-focusing of counterpropagating laser beams in a nonlinear medium.

It is shown that an interface between two dielectric media, where the lower-refractive-index material has a positive optical Kerr coefficient, can support a two-dimensional optical surface wave that propagates along the interface with a constant shap

For ultrashort optical pulses propagating in silica optical fibers, the Raman contribution to the effective nonlinear refractive index decreases for pulse widths less than ~100 fsec. By numerical simulation, we show that this contribution not only de
