Experimental tweaking of symmetry breaking in recurrent nonlinear modulational instability

G Vanderhaegen, P Szriftgiser, A Kudlinski, A Armaroli… - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
We show that the nonlinear stage of the universal phenomenon of modulational instability,
and in particular its recurrent behavior, is deeply affected by arbitrarily weak losses. Indeed …
