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 …
