These devices are used to balance Kerr nonlinearities with dispersion nonlinearities when used with a Raman emitter toproduce a namesake soliton laser.
These devices are used to balance Kerr nonlinearities with dispersion nonlinearities when used with a Raman emitter toproduce a namesake soliton laser. The mandrel wrapping technique is used to attenuate high-order modes in these devices.Impurities or geometrical defects in these devices result in cladding modes that do not decay exponentially. These devices aretypically manufactured in step-index and gradient-index variants, and they can be doped to create a W-shaped refractive indexprofile that is useful as a gain medium in lasers. Charles Kao's pioneering work in telecommunications using these devices wonhim part of the 2009 Nobel Prize. Photons entering these waveguides must lie within the acceptance cone, whose openingangle is given by Snell's law, since these devices conÂfine light by total internal reflflection. For 10 points, name these cylindricalstructures consisting of a glass core surrounded by a cladding, that permit the transmission of light over long distances withminimal loss.
