Optical solitons due to quadratic nonlinearities: from basic physics to futuristic applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of nonlinear phenomena related to optical quadratic solitons, i.e., intrinsically multicomponent localized states of light, which can exist in media without inversion symmetry at the molecular level.

Femtosecond white-light continuum pulses.
TL;DR: Gigawatt white-light continuum pulses that permit spectroscopic measurements with a time resolution of 80 fsec are obtained that are consistent with self-phase modulation having a prominent role in generation of the continuum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear wave collapse and strong turbulence
TL;DR: The theory and applications of wave self-focusing, collapse, and strongly nonlinear wave turbulence are reviewed in this article, where numerical simulations of Langmuir collapse and strong turbulence are presented.

Critical power for self-focusing in bulk media and in hollow waveguides.
Gadi Fibich,Alexander L. Gaeta +1 more
TL;DR: The threshold power for self-focusing collapse both in a bulk medium and in a hollow-core waveguide for various spatial profiles is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supercontinuum generation in gases.
TL;DR: The blue spectral component is shown to display a nearly universal behavior for all gases and pulse durations and continuum generation was only observed with the femtosecond pulse when the threshold for self-focusing was exceeded.
