Over a decade ago, an analogy was drawn between the generation of large ocean waves
and the propagation of light fields in optical fibres. This analogy drove numerous …

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 …

Rogue waves is the name given by oceanographers to isolated large amplitude waves, that
occur more frequently than expected for normal, Gaussian distributed, statistical events …

This review is dedicated to recent progress in the active field of rogue waves, with an
emphasis on the analytical prediction of versatile rogue wave structures in scalar, vector …

We introduce a mechanism for generating higher-order rogue waves (HRWs) of the
nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation: the progressive fusion and fission of n degenerate …

We have numerically calculated chaotic waves of the focusing nonlinear Schrr̈odinger
equation (NLSE), starting with a plane wave modulated by relatively weak random waves …

Numerical simulations of the onset phase of continuous wave supercontinuum generation
from modulation instability show that the structure of the field as it develops can be …

Rogue waves (RWs) are rare, extreme amplitude, localized wave packets, which have
received much interest recently in different areas of physics. Fiber lasers with their abundant …

The science of rogue waves in optics is now over five years old, and it has emerged as an
area of broad interest to researchers across the physical sciences [1]. This area of study was …

The year 2009 marks the tenth anniversary of the first report of white-light supercontinuum
generation in photonic crystal fibre. This result had a tremendous impact on the field of …
