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 …

The need to measure high repetition rate ultrafast processes cuts across multiple areas of
science. The last decade has seen tremendous advances in the development and …

Solitons are wave packets that can propagate without changing shape by balancing
nonlinear effects with the effects of dispersion. In photonics, they have underpinned …

We report experimental confirmation of the universal emergence of the Peregrine soliton
predicted to occur during pulse propagation in the semiclassical limit of the focusing …

The mathematical description of localized solitons in the presence of large‐scale waves is a
fundamental problem in nonlinear science, with applications in fluid dynamics, nonlinear …

We report the universal emergence of anomalous fundamental Peregrine solitons, which
can exhibit an unprecedentedly ultrahigh peak amplitude comparable to any higher-order …

We report on the formation of a dispersive shock wave in a nonlinear optical medium. We
monitor the evolution of the shock by tuning the incoming beam power. The experimental …

In this review we present recent theoretical and experimental progress on modulation
instability and parametric amplification processes in dispersion oscillating fibers. These …

Multi-photon microscopy has played a significant role in biological imaging since it allows to
observe living tissues with improved penetration depth and excellent sectioning effect. Multi …

Breather solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) are known to be
considered as backbone models for extreme events in the ocean as well as in Kerr media …
