Granularity and inhomogeneity are the joint generators of optical rogue waves

FT Arecchi, U Bortolozzo, A Montina, S Residori - Physical review letters, 2011 - APS
In the presence of many waves, giant events can occur with a probability higher than
expected for random dynamics. By studying linear light propagation in a glass fiber, we …

Instabilities, breathers and rogue waves in optics

JM Dudley, F Dias, M Erkintalo, G Genty - Nature Photonics, 2014 - nature.com
Optical rogue waves are rare, extreme fluctuations in the value of an optical field. The
term'optical rogue wave'was first used in the context of an analogy between pulse …

Rogue wave formation by accelerated solitons at an optical event horizon

A Demircan, S Amiranashvili, C Brée, C Mahnke… - Applied Physics B, 2014 - Springer
Rogue waves, by definition, are rare events of extreme amplitude. At the same time, they are
surprisingly ubiquitous, in the sense that they can exist in a wide range of physical contexts …

Predictability of rogue events

S Birkholz, C Brée, A Demircan, G Steinmeyer - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
Using experimental data from three different rogue wave supporting systems, determinism,
