Optical rogue waves are rare, extreme fluctuations in the value of an optical field. The
term'optical rogue wave'was first used in the context of an analogy between pulse …

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 …

Photonics enables to develop simple lab experiments that mimic water rogue wave
generation phenomena, as well as relativistic gravitational effects such as event horizons …

The nonlinear interaction of light in an optical fibre can mimic the physics at an event
horizon. This analogue arises when a weak probe wave is unable to pass through an …

Bound states of optical solitons represent ideal candidates to investigate fundamental
nonlinear wave interaction principles and have been shown to exhibit intriguing analogies to …

We present a flexible, open-source Python package for the accurate simulation of the z-
propagation dynamics of ultrashort optical pulses in nonlinear waveguides, especially valid …

We show that, although nonlinear optics may give rise to a vast multitude of statistics, all
these statistics converge, in their extreme-value limit, to one of a few universal extreme …

Hawking radiation is unlikely to be measured from a real black hole, but can be tested in
laboratory analogues. It was predicted as a consequence of quantum mechanics and …

A pulse–pulse interaction that leads to rogue wave (RW) generation in lasers was previously
attributed either to soliton–soliton or soliton–dispersive-wave interaction. The beating …

Based on photonic crystal fiber, the generation and behavior of dispersive waves in optical
fiber system are presented. The individual soliton induced dispersive waves and collision …
