The nonlinear propagation of coherent optical fields has been extensively explored in the
framework of nonlinear optics, while the linear propagation of incoherent fields has been …

Single photon quantum emitters are important building blocks of optical quantum
technologies. Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), an atomically thin wide band gap two …

Multimode fibres (MMFs) are attracting interest in the study of spatiotemporal dynamics as
well as in the context of ultrafast fibre sources, imaging and telecommunications. This …

Optical fibres are favourable tabletop laboratories to investigate both coherent and
incoherent nonlinear waves. In particular, exact solutions of the one-dimensional nonlinear …

We report on the thermalization of light carrying orbital angular momentum in multimode
optical fibers, induced by nonlinear intermodal interactions. A generalized Rayleigh-Jeans …

Quantum information processing—which relies on spin defects or single-photon emission—
has shown quantum advantage in proof-of-principle experiments including microscopic …

Soliton gases represent large random soliton ensembles in physical systems that exhibit
integrable dynamics at the leading order. Despite significant theoretical developments and …

We report optical experiments allowing us to investigate integrable turbulence in the
focusing regime of the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (1D NLSE). In …

Recent progress in wavefront shaping has enabled control of light propagation inside linear
media to focus and image through scattering objects. In particular, light propagation in …

We review the different dynamical mechanisms leading to the emergence of coherent
structures in physical systems described by the integrable one-dimensional nonlinear …
