Specialty Optical Fibers: Materials, Fabrication Technology, and Applications reviews theoretical and experimental photonic research relevant to the synthesis, processing, characterization, modeling, physical features, and applications of Specialty Optical Fibers (SOFs) with significant technological impact potential. All fiber-based advanced photonics device components rely on specialty optical fibers, which have either a unique waveguide structure or a novel material composition. High power optical amplifiers, high power fiber, and novel fabrication techniques for optical fiber design have enabled significant technological advances. The book provides discussion on these applications, including current research directions, future opportunities, and remaining challenges. It is suitable for researchers in academia and practitioners in R&D working in materials science, electrical engineering, and fiber optics.
