A Student's Guide to Fiber Lasers

Everything you need to know about fiber lasers to jumpstart your education, research, or employment in the fields of optics and lasers. You'll learn about step-index fibers, micro-structured fibers (photonic crystal, multi-core, leaky channel, etc.). You'll learn how to calculate modes for the step-index fiber and how to determine stability for micro-structured fibers. You'll learn about optical waveguides and how these are converted to fiber lasers, both continuous-wave and pulsed. The author uses many example problems and the text has web links so you can download all the Mathcad code.
