Recent work has shown that irradiation with light possessing orbital angular momentum
(OAM) and an associated phase singularity, that is an optical vortex, twists a variety of …

The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very
important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer networking and …

A unidirectional optical oscillator is built by using a liquid crystal light valve that couples a
pump beam with the modes of a nearly spherical cavity. For sufficiently high pump intensity …

Photopolymerization is a powerful technique to create arbitrary micro-objects with a high
spatial resolution. Importantly, to date all photopolymerization studies have been performed …

Fractional calculus is entering the field of nonlinear optics to describe unconventional
regimes, as disorder biological media and soft-matter. Here we investigate spatiotemporal …

Modulational instability (MI) in a twin-core optical fiber with the combined effect of saturation
of nonlinearity (SNL) and coupling coefficient dispersion (CCD) is presented. The CCD does …

We report the direct observation of the onset of turbulence in propagating one-dimensional
optical waves. The transition occurs as the disordered hosting material passes from being …

We investigate the cross-phase-modulation-induced modulational instability (MI) of two co-
propagating optical beams in the system of relaxing Kerr nonlinearity with the effect of higher …

Nonlinear optics and polymer systems are distinct fields that have been studied for decades.
These two fields intersect with the observation of nonlinear wave propagation in …

We report cross-link-tunable, nonlinear optical pattern formation of transmitted light in a
photopolymer undergoing free-radical polymerization. Photopolymerization induces …
