TL;DR: The concept of optical rogue wave was introduced by Solli et al. as discussed by the authors, who defined it as "an optical pulse whose amplitude or intensity is much higher than that of the surrounding pulses".

TL;DR: The proposed all-optical switching concept fulfills all criteria for a useful optical transistor in [Nat. Photon. 4, 3 (2010)], in particular, fan-out and cascadability, which have previously proven as the most difficult to meet.

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical study of supercontinuum generation in a single-mode optical fiber was conducted and it was shown that the modulation instability is responsible for the generation of ultrabroadband octave-spanning continua for pico-and sub-picosecond pulses in the anomalous-as well as in the normal dispersion region.

TL;DR: It is argued that under suitable circumstances nonlinear interaction between weak and strong waves results in intermittent giant waves with all the signatures of rogue waves.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the generation mechanisms for ultra-wide spectra in nonlinear optical fibers and show that Soliton fission and modulation instability represent fundamental mechanisms for the generation process, and the interplay between these two effects leads to various characteristics of the resulting spectra, which are modified by the relative impact of modulation instability.
