This article offers a review of (chiefly, theoretical) results for self-trapped states (solitons) in
two-and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) models of nonlinear dissipative media. The …

We present a review of the latest developments in one-dimensional (1D) optical wave
turbulence (OWT). Based on an original experimental setup that allows for the …

We investigate a photonic regenerative memory based upon a neuromorphic oscillator with
a delayed self-feedback (autaptic) connection. We disclose the existence of a unique …

Localized structures (LSs) in dissipative media appear in various fields of natural science
such as biology, chemistry, plant ecology, optics and laser physics. The proposal for this …

We investigate the influence of the stimulated Raman scattering on the formation of bright
and dark localized states in all-fiber resonators subject to a coherent optical injection, when …

Dynamics of small particles, both living and inanimate, has fascinated scientists for
centuries. Learning how to control it could open technological opportunities in the …

Solitons are self-reinforcing localized wave packets that manifest in the major areas of
nonlinear science, from optics to biology and Bose–Einstein condensates. Recently …

We show that the nonlinear polarization dynamics of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser
placed in an external cavity lead to the emission of temporal dissipative solitons. These are …

STUDIES Page 1 Romanian Reports in Physics, Vol. 67, No. 4, P. 1383–1400, 2015 Dedicated …

We experimentally investigate the interplay of Turing (modulational) and Faraday
(parametric) instabilities in a bistable passive nonlinear resonator. The Faraday branch is …
