We theoretically and numerically evidence that optical rare and strong temporal events
generated in fiber supercontinua originate from convective modulational instabilities. This …

We perform a detailed analysis of the phase sensitivity of optical fibre soliton collision and
energy exchange dynamics resulting from Raman scattering. We show that the relative …

We present a numerical study of the evolution dynamics of “optical rogue waves”, statistically-
rare extreme red-shifted soliton pulses arising from supercontinuum generation in photonic …

Nondeterministic giant waves, denoted as rogue, killer, monster, or freak waves, have been
reported in many different branches of physics. Their physical interpretation is however still …

Numerical simulations are used to discuss various aspects of “optical rogue wave” statistics
observed in noise-driven fiber supercontinuum generation associated with highly incoherent …

We show the existence of self-similar giant rogue waves in a tapered graded-index
nonlinear fiber and analytically illustrate their amplification in a rather small spatiotemporal …

We investigate dark rogue wave dynamics in normally dispersive birefringent optical fibers,
based on the exact rational solutions of the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations …

We review the different dynamical mechanisms leading to the emergence of coherent
structures in physical systems described by the integrable one-dimensional nonlinear …

Mode-locked lasers are prone to exhibit a wide range of dynamics, many of them analyzed
within the concept of dissipative solitons. However, ultrafast laser dynamics goes beyond the …

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 …
