Abstract Complex Ginzburg–Landau (CGL) equations serve as canonical models in a great
variety of physical settings, such as nonlinear photonics, dynamical phase transitions …

This article reviews recent theoretical and experimental advances in the fundamental
understanding and active control of quantum fluids of light in nonlinear optical systems. In …

Abstract The cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation is one of the most-studied nonlinear
equations in the physics community. It describes a vast variety of phenomena from nonlinear …

Wave instability—the process that gives rise to turbulence in hydrodynamics—represents
the mechanism by which a small disturbance in a wave grows in amplitude owing to …

This book addresses a subject at the crossing point of two lines of investi gation-synergetics
and modern nonlinear optics. First, the book is devoted to optical patterns that previously …

Understanding the phenomenon of rogue wave formation, often called extreme waves, in
diverse branches of nonlinear science has become one of the most attractive domains …

The present review summarizes experimental and theoretical work dealing with self-
organized solitary localized structures (LSs) that are observed in spatially extended …

Pattern formation and competition occur in a nonlinear extended medium if dissipation
allows for attracting sets, independently of initial and boundary conditions. This intrinsic …

The growth of regularity from disorder, the evolution from the simple towards the complex,
and the spontaneous formation of spatio temporal patterns in general are questions which …

Although photons in vacuum are massless particles that do not appreciably interact with
each other, significant interactions appear in suitable nonlinear media, leading to …
