Nonlinear Optics in Guided Geometries - Abstract
Dudley (Pierre-Ambroise Lacourt), John
We examine in detail the dynamics leading to the formation of optical rogue waves in the context of supercontinuum generation in highly nonlinear fibers. We also report on experiments showing that such --statistically rare -- rogue wave events can be observed under different pumping regimes and can be detected using a straightforward direct detection setup.
