About this ebook

Advances in Nonlinear Photonics combines fundamental principles with an overview of the latest developments. The book is suitable for the multidisciplinary audience of photonics researchers and practitioners in academia and R&D, including materials scientists and engineers, applied physicists, chemists, etc. As nonlinear phenomena are at the core of photonic devices and may enable future applications such as all-optical switching, all-optical signal processing and quantum photonics, this book provides an overview of key concepts. In addition, the book reviews the most important advances in the field and how nonlinear processes may be exploited in different photonic applications. - Introduces fundamental principles of nonlinear phenomena and their application in materials and devices - Reviews and provides definitions of the latest research directions in the field of nonlinear photonics - Discusses the most important developments in materials and applications, including future prospects

About the author

Dr. Righini is a former director of the Enrico Fermi Center and of the National Department on Materials and Devices, CNR. He was also research director at IFAC and vice-president of the International Commission for Optics and International Union of Pure and Applied Physics. In 1991 he was one of the founders of the Italian Society of Optics and Photonics (SIOF), and later one of its Presidents. His research interests concern fiber and integrated optics, glass materials, and microresonators, with reference to both linear and nonlinear phenomena. He has published more than 500 research papers (ORCID: 0000-0002-6081-6971) and co-edited various books. He is a fellow of Optica (formerly OSA), SPIE, SIF (Italian Physical Society), EOS (European Optical Society) and SIOF.
