Fiber Optics

fiber lasers (experience with broad range of fiber gain media)
fiber amplifiers: with laser or Raman gain, ASE, noise figure, etc.
light propagation in optical fibers:
e.g. modal properties, data transmission, soliton formation, soliton splitting, optical power delivery, supercontinuum generation in microstructure fibers
novel types of optical fiber, e.g. photonic crystal fibers (microstructure fibers)

More details are given in the Powerpoint presentation Fiber_devices.ppt.

The available competence is demonstrated by the scientific publications of Dr. Rüdiger Paschotta and the Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology. Dr. Paschotta has a deep physical understanding and self-made software for calculating propagation modes and dispersion properties of fibers, the development of optimized fiber designs, the optimization of various kinds of rare-earth-doped fiber amplifiers, and the simulation of ultrashort pulse propagation in fibers.
