Optical Solitons: From Fibers to Photonic Crystals
Here, readers can obtain all the important and theoretical and experimental information pertaining to optical solitons in a single, well-organized book that offers complete coverage of every variety of soliton wave. For the benefit of prosepctive readers, the book presents detailed experimental and theoretical information on vortex, vector, parametric, descrete, incoherent and magnetic solutions, as well as on various categories of solitons contained witinin these general catagories...A good table of contents is supported by a complete index. There are hundreds of references at the end of each chapter. There are also many useful graphs and figures in each chapter. Although there are no problems for the reader to solve, this volume could certainly serve as a textbook. The target readership of electrical engineers, optical engineers, and physicists interested in the area of optical solitons have a useful new book from two authors who continue to be at the leading edge of their field.- Optics and Photonics News, Dec. 2004
