Optical rogue waves are rare, extreme fluctuations in the value of an optical field. The
term'optical rogue wave'was first used in the context of an analogy between pulse …

Abstract This Review Article provides an overview of chaos in laser diodes by surveying
experimental achievements in the area and explaining the theory behind the phenomenon …

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 …

The pioneering paper'Optical rogue waves' by Solli et al (2007 Nature 450 1054) started the
new subfield in optics. This work launched a great deal of activity on this novel subject. As a …

We propose a detailed stability analysis of the Lugiato-Lefever model for Kerr optical
frequency combs in whispering-gallery-mode resonators when they are pumped in either …

We report and discuss analytical solutions of the vector nonlinear Schrödinger equation that
describe rogue waves in the defocusing regime. This family of solutions includes bright-dark …

Modulation instability is a fundamental process of nonlinear science, leading to the unstable
breakup of a constant amplitude solution of a physical system. There has been particular …

Extreme events gain the attention of researchers due to their utmost importance in various
contexts ranging from climate to brain. An observable that deviates significantly from its long …

Rare events of extremely high optical intensity are experimentally recorded at the output of a
mode-locked fiber laser that operates in a strongly dissipative regime of chaotic multiple …

Optical fibres are favourable tabletop laboratories to investigate both coherent and
incoherent nonlinear waves. In particular, exact solutions of the one-dimensional nonlinear …
