Kuppuswamy Porsezian received an M.Sc from the University of Madras, Chennai, India, and a Ph.D from Bhrathidasan University, Tiruchirapalli, India. After working as a research scientist with the SERC, Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India Project, he joined the Department of Physics, Anna University, Chennai, India as a lecturer. Highly decorated and widely published, Dr. Porsezian is currently a professor with the Department of Physics, Pondicherry University, Puducherry, India. His current research interests include solitons and modulational instability in nonlinear fiberoptics, self-induced transparency solitons, nonlinear pulse propagation in periodic structures, metamaterials and photonic crystal fibers, and integrability aspects of nonlinear partial differential equations. For his research work, he has received several awards and honors. He is also a fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences.Ramanathan Ganapathy received an M.Sc in physics from the University of Hyderabad, India, and an M.Phil and Ph.D in physics from Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kochi, India. Dr. Ganapathy worked as a post-doctoral fellow for three years in the CSIR-sponsored project Nonlinear Dynamics of Femtosecond Pulse Propagation in Nonlinear Fibers at Pondicherry University, India. Presently, he is working as a senior assistant professor at the Centre for Nonlinear Science and Engineering, School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, SASTRA University, Thanjavur, India.

"… a really outstanding collection of reviews presenting a broad view of the current theoretical and experimental research in photonics and related fields."—Boris Malomed, Department of Physical Electronics, Tel Aviv University, Israel"…multiple experts cover extensive ground in more than 20 chapters and nearly 570 pages. Some chapters assume that the reader is familiar with the basics, but regardless, chapters are well illustrated with good reference lists. Overall, it is a good book on nonlinear fibers covering basic theory and applications." —Optics and Photonics News, October 2016
