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 …

Optical soliton molecules are bound states of solitons that arise from the balance between
attractive and repulsive effects. Having been observed in systems ranging from optical fibres …

We consider the long-term evolution of a random nonlinear wave that propagates in a
multimode optical waveguide. The optical wave exhibits a thermalization process …

Sub-picosecond magnetisation manipulation via femtosecond optical pumping has attracted
wide attention ever since its original discovery in 1996. However, the spatial evolution of the …

Abstract Five decades ago, Hanbury Brown and Twiss (HBT) demonstrated that the angular
size of stars can be measured by correlating the intensity fluctuations measured by two …

Understanding turbulent flows arising from random dispersive waves that interact strongly
through nonlinearities is a challenging issue in physics. Here we report the observation of a …

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 …

We examine the general question of statistical changes experienced by ensembles of
nonlinear random waves propagating in systems ruled by integrable equations. In our study …

We investigate two-dimensional modulation instability (MI) and higher-order soliton clusters
in nematic liquid crystals with competing re-orientational and thermal nonlocal …
