Characterization of the state of polarization (SOP) of ultrafast laser emission is relevant in
several application fields such as field manipulation, pulse shaping, testing of sample …

Optical rogue waves are a class of pulses with extremely large amplitudes, whose
probability of occurrence unexpectedly deviates from Gaussian-law statistics. To date, the …

The buildup process of coherent structures and patterns from the composite balance
between conservative and dissipative effects is a universal phenomenon that occurs in …

The generation of spatial rogue waves, or “hot spots,” is demonstrated experimentally in the
passively Q-switched Nd: YAG laser system operating in a low-power regime well below the …

We have experimentally and theoretically investigated optical rogue waves (ORWs) in a net
negative dispersion Tm-doped fiber laser with a long cavity, adopting nonlinear polarization …

Ultrafast lasers based on nonlinear polarization rotation has attracted significant attentions,
where artificial saturable absorption is induced by Kerr effect. Due to polarization-dependent …

We numerically simulate the effects of the wavelength difference between the pump light
and the seed light on the mid infrared supercontinuum and rogue wave under the condition …

We study the generation and propagation of hyperbolic secant solitons, Peregrine solitons,
and various breathers in a coherently prepared three-level atomic system, where two lower …

Dissipative solitons appear widely in physical systems with dissipative energy exchange,
which have been regarded as an excellent platform for exploring nonlinear dynamics. The …

In this chapter, the history and main characteristics of rogue waves in the oceans are
introduced. Due to phenomenological and physical analogies between extreme events in …
