TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral and temporal evolution of ultrashort dissipative solitons in a transient unstable regime with complex break-up and collisions before stabilization is studied. And the authors show how real-time measurements can provide new insights into ultrafast transient dynamics in optics.

TL;DR: Real-time measurements are performed in an optical fibre system of the unstable breakup of a continuous wave field, simultaneously characterizing emergent modulation instability breather pulses and their associated statistics, which allow quantitative comparison between experiment, modelling and theory.

TL;DR: Experimental confirmation of the universal emergence of the Peregrine soliton predicted to occur during pulse propagation in the semiclassical limit of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation and measurements of temporal focusing of high power pulses reveal both intensity and phase signatures of thePeregrinesoliton during the initial nonlinear evolution stage are reported.

TL;DR: Parabolic pulse generation via Raman amplification is experimentally demonstrated in 5.3 km of non-zero dispersion shifted fiber presenting normal group velocity dispersion at the injected signal pulse wavelength of 1550 nm, showing that near chirp-free pulses can be obtained using only linear chirP compensation.

TL;DR: Numerical simulations compare the properties of a large ensemble of emergent peaks in noise-seeded MI with the known analytic solutions of the NLSE to suggest that the widely-held view that the Peregrine soliton forms a rogue wave prototype must be revisited.
