Observing non-repetitive and statistically rare signals that occur on short timescales requires
fast real-time measurements that exceed the speed, precision and record length of …

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 …

Dissipative solitons are remarkably localized states of a physical system that arise from the
dynamical balance between nonlinearity, dispersion and environmental energy exchange …

Dispersive Fourier transformation is an emerging measurement technique that overcomes
the speed limitations of traditional optical instruments and enables fast continuous single …

Soliton explosions are among the most exotic dissipative phenomena studied in mode-
locked lasers. In this regime, a dissipative soliton circulating in the laser cavity experiences …

Modulation instability is a fundamental process of nonlinear science, leading to the unstable
breakup of a constant amplitude solution of a physical system. There has been particular …

Temporal imaging systems are outstanding tools for single-shot observation of optical
signals that have irregular and ultrafast dynamics. They allow long time windows to be …

The science of rogue waves in optics is now over five years old, and it has emerged as an
area of broad interest to researchers across the physical sciences [1]. This area of study was …

The need to measure high repetition rate ultrafast processes cuts across multiple areas of
science. The last decade has seen tremendous advances in the development and …
