Fibre multi-wave mixing combs reveal the broken symmetry of Fermi–Pasta–Ulam recurrence

A Mussot, C Naveau, M Conforti, A Kudlinski… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
In optical fibres, weak modulations can grow at the expense of a strong pump to form a
triangular comb of sideband pairs, until the process is reversed. Repeated cycles of such …
