Random fiber lasers blend together attractive features of traditional random lasers, such as
low cost and simplicity of fabrication, with high-performance characteristics of conventional …

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 …

Since the 1960s, the Benjamin-Feir (or modulation) instability (MI) has been considered as
the self-modulation of the continuous “envelope waves” with respect to small periodic …

LOCALIZED STRUCTURES IN NONLINEAR OPTICAL MEDIA: A SELECTION OF RECENT
STUDIES Page 1 Romanian Reports in Physics, Vol. 67, No. 4, P. 1383–1400, 2015 Dedicated …

Turbulence in integrable systems exhibits a noticeable scientific advantage: it can be
expressed in terms of the nonlinear modes of these systems. Whether the majority of the …

Rogue waves are giant waves appearing erratically and unexpectedly on the ocean
surfaces. Their existence, considered as mythical in the ancient times, has recently been …

We present first experimental investigation of fast-intensity dynamics of random distributed
feedback (DFB) fiber lasers. We found that the laser dynamics are stochastic on a short time …

Classical nonlinear waves exhibit, as a general rule, an irreversible process of
thermalization toward the Rayleigh–Jeans equilibrium distribution. On the other hand …

We examine the general question of statistical changes experienced by ensembles of
nonlinear random waves propagating in systems ruled by integrable equations. In our study …

We report the direct observation of the onset of turbulence in propagating one-dimensional
optical waves. The transition occurs as the disordered hosting material passes from being …
