Solitons, nonlinear self-trapped wavepackets, have been extensively studied in many and
diverse branches of physics such as optics, plasmas, condensed matter physics, fluid …

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 …

Mode-locked lasers are prone to exhibit a wide range of dynamics, many of them analyzed
within the concept of dissipative solitons. However, ultrafast laser dynamics goes beyond the …

The development of the connections between ultrafast laser dynamics and solitary waves
concepts is presented, with an attempt to emphasize on important research milestones and …

We introduce a new class of elliptically modulated self-trapped singular beams in isotropic
nonlinear media where nonlocality plays a crucial role in their existence. The analytical …

Focus Serial: Frontiers of Nonlinear Optics This concise review is aimed at providing an
introduction to the kinetic theory of partially coherent optical waves propagating in nonlinear …

The long-term behavior of a modulationally unstable nonintegrable system is known to be
characterized by the soliton turbulence self-organization process: It is thermodynamically …

Incoherent optical spatial solitons are self-trapped beams with a multimodal structure that
varies randomly in time. They form when their diffraction-broadening, which is governed by …

We show both theoretically and experimentally in an optical fiber system that a
noninstantaneous nonlinear environment supports the existence of spectral incoherent …

We analyze the influence of self-steepening and higher-order dispersion on the process of
optical wave thermalization. This study is aimed at developing a thermodynamic formulation …
