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 …

Heteroclinic-structure transition of the pure quartic modulation instability

X Yao, C Liu, ZY Yang, WL Yang - Physical Review Research, 2022 - APS
We show that, in the pure-quartic systems, modulation instability (MI) undergoes heteroclinic-
structure transitions (HSTs) at two critical frequencies of ω c 1 and ω c 2 (ω c 2> ω c 1) …

Idealized four-wave mixing dynamics in a nonlinear Schrödinger equation fiber system

A Sheveleva, U Andral, B Kibler, P Colman, JM Dudley… - Optica, 2022 - opg.optica.org
The observation of ideal four-wave mixing dynamics is notoriously difficult to implement
experimentally due to the generation of higher-order sidebands and optical loss, which limit …

Superregular breathers in a complex modified Korteweg-de Vries system

We study superregular (SR) breathers (ie, the quasi-Akhmediev breather collision with a
certain phase shift) in a complex modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. We demonstrate that …

Growth rate of modulation instability driven by superregular breathers

We report an exact link between Zakharov-Gelash super-regular (SR) breathers (formed by
a pair of quasi-Akhmediev breathers) with interesting different nonlinear propagation …

Experimental characterization of recurrences and separatrix crossing in modulational instability

C Naveau, P Szriftgiser, A Kudlinski, M Conforti… - Optics Letters, 2019 - opg.optica.org

We investigate the nonlinear evolutions of modulation instability (MI) under the interaction of
Kerr nonlinearity with pure higher, even-order dispersion (HEOD) by using the truncating …

Experimental observation of magnetic island heteroclinic bifurcation in tokamaks
