Journal ArticleDOI
The Peregrine soliton in nonlinear fibre optics
Bertrand Kibler,Julien Fatome,Christophe Finot,Guy Millot,Frédéric Dias,Frédéric Dias,Goëry Genty,Nail Akhmediev,John M. Dudley +8 more
TL;DR: The Peregrine soliton was observed experimentally for the first time by using femtosecond pulses in an optical fiber as mentioned in this paper, which gave some insight into freak waves that can appear out of nowhere before simply disappearing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of Kuznetsov-Ma soliton dynamics in optical fibre
Bertrand Kibler,Julien Fatome,Christophe Finot,Guy Millot,Goëry Genty,Benjamin Wetzel,Nail Akhmediev,Frédéric Dias,John M. Dudley +8 more
TL;DR: Novel experiments in optical fibre are reported that confirm the KM soliton theory and show that KM dynamics appear more universally than for the specific conditions originally considered, and can be interpreted as an analytic description of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam recurrence in NLSE propagation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-similarity in ultrafast nonlinear optics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of self-similar pulse propagation and scaling in optical fiber amplifiers, and their use in the development of high-power ultrafast optical sources, pulse synthesis and all-optical pulse regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gain-assisted propagation in a plasmonic waveguide at telecom wavelength.
Jonathan Grandidier,Gérard Colas des Francs,S. Massenot,Alexandre Bouhelier,Laurent Markey,Jean-Claude Weeber,Christophe Finot,Alain Dereux +7 more
TL;DR: Propagation assisted by stimulated emission in a polymer strip-loaded plasmonic waveguide doped with nanocrystals achieves 27% increase of the propagation length at telecom wavelength corresponding to a 160 cm(-1) optical gain coefficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beneficial impact of wave-breaking for coherent continuum formation in normally dispersive nonlinear fibers
TL;DR: In this article, the temporal and spectral impact of optical wave-breaking in the development of a continuum was investigated, and the impact of linear losses or gain on the evolution of a pulse propagating in a normally dispersive fiber in the presence of Kerr nonlinearity.
