Over a decade ago, an analogy was drawn between the generation of large ocean waves
and the propagation of light fields in optical fibres. This analogy drove numerous …

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 …

Numerical simulations of the onset phase of continuous wave supercontinuum generation
from modulation instability show that the structure of the field as it develops can be …

The science of rogue waves in optics is now over five years old, and it has emerged as an
area of broad interest to researchers across the physical sciences [1]. This area of study was …

The year 2009 marks the tenth anniversary of the first report of white-light supercontinuum
generation in photonic crystal fibre. This result had a tremendous impact on the field of …

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) is a seminal equation of nonlinear physics
describing wave packet evolution in weakly-nonlinear dispersive media. The NLSE is …

We experimentally study the characteristics of optical rogue waves in supercontinuum
generation in the femtosecond regime. Specifically, the intensity histograms obtained from …

We provide some general physical insights into the emergence of rogue wave events from
optical turbulence by analyzing the long term evolution of the field. Depending on the …

We discuss optical rogue wave generation in terms of collisions and turbulence processes.
Simulations of picosecond pulse propagation in optical fibres show rogue soliton generation …

We study the spectra of the Peregrine soliton and higher-order rational solutions of the
nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE), which we use as a model of the rogue waves in …
