Optical rogue wave instabilities: Further insight and route to control

We present further discussion of optical rogue wave generation in nonlinear fiber propagation in terms of soliton turbulence, and present a more general discussion of possible links to their oceanic counterparts. We show that higher-order dispersion is sufficient to localize rogue soliton structures, and Raman scattering effects are not required. Furthermore, we examine in detail the degree to which stability of optical rogue waves can be harnessed through a suitable input pulse modulation.
