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

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

We study the effective amplification of optical solitons in high power transmission systems
based on a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with variable coefficients. Three soliton …

Multimode fiber (MMF) lasers are emerging as a remarkable testbed to study nonlinear
spatiotemporal physics with potential applications spanning from high energy pulse …

Nonlinear microscopy techniques developed over the past two decades have provided
dramatic new capabilities for biological imaging. The initial demonstrations of nonlinear …

Breathing solitons are nonlinear waves in which the energy concentrates in a localized and
oscillatory fashion. Similarly to stationary solitons, breathers in dissipative systems can form …

Mode-locking is a process in which different modes of an optical resonator establish stable
synchronization through non-linear interactions. This self-organization underlies light …

Atomic layer graphene possesses wavelength-insensitive ultrafast saturable absorption,
which can be exploited as a “full-band” mode locker. Taking advantage of the wide band …

Rapid progress in passively mode-locked fibre lasers,,,,, is currently driven by the recent
discovery of new mode-locking mechanisms, namely, the self-similarly evolving pulse …

The generation and stable propagation of ultrashort optical pulses tend to be limited by
accumulation of excessive nonlinear phase shifts. The limitations are particularly …
