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 …

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 …

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 …

Recent observations show that the probability of encountering an extremely large rogue
wave in the open ocean is much larger than expected from ordinary wave-amplitude …

Waves in Oceanic and Coastal Waters describes the observation, analysis and prediction of
wind-generated waves in the open ocean, in shelf seas, and in coastal regions with islands …

We present a method for finding the hierarchy of rational solutions of the self-focusing
nonlinear Schrödinger equation and present explicit forms for these solutions from first to …

“It came from nowhere, snap** giant ships in two. No one believed the survivors... until
now”—New Scientist magazine cover, June 30, 2001 Rogue waves are the focus of this …

The title (WANDT) can be applied to two objects: rogue waves in the ocean and rational
solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). There is a hierarchy of rational …

A review of physical mechanisms of the rogue wave phenomenon is given. The data of
marine observations as well as laboratory experiments are briefly discussed. They …

Super rogue waves with an amplitude of up to 5 times the background value are observed in
a water-wave tank for the first time. Nonlinear focusing of the local wave amplitude occurs …
