非线性光纤研究发生在光纤内部的非线性光学现象。尽管非线性光学领域始于1961年，当时红宝石激光器首次用于在晶体内部产生二次谐波辐射，但直到1970年光纤损耗降至20 dB/km[2]以下，光纤作为非线性介质的使用才成为可能。早在1972年就研究了单模光纤中的受激拉曼散射和布里渊散射，随后又研究了其他非线性效应，如自相调制和交相调制以及四波混频。到1989年，非线性光纤领域已经有了很大的发展，以至于有整整一本书专门讨论它。本书或其第二版已被翻译成中文、日文和俄文，证明了非线性光纤领域在世界范围内的活动。
Nonlinear fiber optics concerns with the nonlinear optical phenomena occurring inside optical fibers. Although the field ofnonlinear optics traces its beginning to 1961, when a ruby laser was first used to generate the second-harmonic radiation inside a crystal [1], the use ofoptical fibers as a nonlinear medium became feasible only after 1970 when fiber losses were reduced to below 20 dB/km [2]. Stimulated Raman and Brillouin scatterings in single-mode fibers were studied as early as 1972 [3] and were soon followed by the study of other nonlinear effects such as self- and crossphase modulation and four-wave mixing [4]. By 1989, the field ofnonlinear fiber optics has advanced enough that a whole book was devoted to it [5]. This book or its second edition has been translated into Chinese, Japanese, and Russian languages, attesting to the worldwide activity in the field of nonlinear fiber optics.
