This paper reviews research in ocean engineering over the last 50+ years with the aim to (I)
understand the technological challenges and evolution in the field,(II) investigate whether …

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 …

Oceanic rogue waves are surface gravity waves whose wave heights are much larger than
expected for the sea state. The common operational definition requires them to be at least …

The nonlinear propagation of coherent optical fields has been extensively explored in the
framework of nonlinear optics, while the linear propagation of incoherent fields has been …

A statistical theory of rogue waves is proposed and tested against experimental data
collected in a long water tank where random waves with different degrees of nonlinearity are …

Observation-Based Source Terms in the Third-Generation Wave Model WAVEWATCH III:
Updates and Verification in: Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 49 Issue 2 (2019) …

We report here a novel fiber-based test bed using tailored spectral sha** of an optical-
frequency comb to excite the formation of two Akhmediev breathers that collide during …

Rogue waves are individual ocean surface waves with crest height\(\eta\) or trough-to-crest
height H that are large compared to the significant wave height\(H_s\) of the underlying sea …

Theoretical distributions proposed for describing the crest-to-trough heights of linear waves
are reviewed briefly. To explore the effects of nonlinearities, these are generalized to second …
