Real-time spectroscopy access to ultrafast fiber lasers opens new opportunities for exploring
complex soliton interaction dynamics. Here, we have reported the first observation, to the …

The pioneering paper'Optical rogue waves' by Solli et al (2007 Nature 450 1054) started the
new subfield in optics. This work launched a great deal of activity on this novel subject. As a …

We demonstrate a peculiar mechanism for the formation of bound states of light pulses of
substantially different optical frequencies, in which pulses are strongly bound across a vast …

Fiber lasers are convenient for studying extreme and rare events, such as rogue waves,
thanks to the lasers' fast dynamics. Indeed, several types of rogue wave patterns were …

We study numerically the properties of (statistically) homogeneous soliton gas depending on
soliton density (proportional to number of solitons per unit length) and soliton velocities, in …

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) stands out as the dispersive nonlinear partial
differential equation that plays a prominent role in the modeling and understanding of the …

Rogue waves are observed as light propagates in the extreme nonlinear regime that occurs
when a photorefractive ferroelectric crystal is undergoing a structural phase transition. The …

Rogue waves are ubiquitous in nature, appearing in a variety of physical systems ranging
from acoustics, microwave cavities, optical fibers, and resonators to plasmas, superfluids …

In this work, we unveil the unique complex dynamics of multimode soliton interactions in
graded-index optical fibers through simulations and experiments. By generating two …

Interplay between dispersion and nonlinearity in optical fibers is a fundamental research
topic of nonlinear fiber optics. Here we numerically and experimentally investigate an …
