Introduction -- Optical properties and optical spectroscopy of rare-earth ions in solids -- Electron-phonon coupling in solids -- Physical and optical properties of laser glass -- Mechanical and thermal properties of glass -- Fiber fabrication and high quality glasses for gain fibers -- Spectroscopic properties of and gain fibers -- Propagation of light and spatial modes in optical fibers -- Fiber laser physics fundamentals -- Main fiber laser operational regimes -- Main optical components for fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers design -- High power fiber lasers. Nonlinear frequency conversion -- Raman fiber lasers and amplifiers -- Fiber lasers' industrial applications.

    This book covers the fundamental aspects of fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers, and includes a wide range of material from laser physics fundamentals to state-of-the-art topics in this rapidly growing field of quantum electronics. This expanded and updated new edition includes substantial new material on nonlinear frequency conversion and Raman fiber lasers and amplifiers, as well as an expanded list of references inclusive of the recent literature in the field. Emphasis is placed on the nonlinear processes taking place in fiber lasers and amplifiers, their similarities, differences to, and their advantages over other solid-state lasers. The reader will learn the basic principles of solid-state physics and optical spectroscopy of laser active centers in fibers, the main operational laser regimes, and will receive practical recommendations and suggestions on fiber laser research, laser applications, and laser product development. The book will be useful for students, researchers, and professional physicists and engineers who work with lasers in the optical and telecommunications field, as well as those in the chemical and biological industries
