Abstract The study of Bose–Einstein condensation effects in photonic systems has revealed
a rich phenomenology related to spontaneous coherence generation in driven-dissipative …

Linear multimode optical systems have enabled clean experimental observations and the
applications of numerous phenomena that continually extend the boundaries of wave …

The idea of temporal solitons in optical fibres as a means to compensate for the chromatic
dispersion-induced temporal broadening of pulses via the intensity-dependent refractive …

Multimode optical fibres are enjoying renewed attention, boosted by the urgent need to
overcome the current capacity crunch of single-mode fibre (SMF) systems and by recent …

The pioneering paper'Optical rogue waves' by Solli et al (2007 Nature 450 1054) started the
new subfield in optics. This work launched a great deal of activity on this novel subject. As a …

Multimode devices and components have attracted considerable attention in the last years,
and different research topics and themes have emerged very recently. The multimodality can …

Since its first demonstration in graded-index multimode fibers, spatial beam self-cleaning
has attracted a growing research interest. It allows for the propagation of beams with a bell …

We observe a nonlinear spatial self-cleaning process for femtosecond pulses in graded-
index (GRIN) multimode fiber (MMF). Pulses with∼ 80 fs duration at 1030 nm are launched …

Solitons are non-dispersing localized waves that occur in diverse physical settings,
including liquids, optical fibres, plasmas and condensed matter. They attract interest owing …

We provide a perspective overview of the emerging field of nonlinear optics in multimode
optical fibers. These fibers enable new methods for the ultrafast light-activated control of …
