Abstract Rogue waves are giant nonlinear that suddenly appear and disappear in oceans optics. We discuss the facts fictions related to their strange nature, dynamic generation, ingrained instability, potential applications. present rogue wave solutions standard cubic Schrödinger equation models many propagation phenomena propose method of mode pruning for suppressing modulation instability wave...

We report the experimental observation of extreme instabilities in a self-pulsing fiber laser under the influence of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). Specifically, we observe temporally localized structures with high intensities that can be referred to as rogue events through their statistical behaviour with highly-skewed intensity distributions. The emergence of these SBS-induced rogue w...

Rogue waves in (2+1)-dimensional three-wave resonant interactions are studied by the bilinear KP-reduction method. General rogue arising from a constant background, lump-soliton background and dark-soliton have been derived, their dynamics illustrated. For fundamental line-shaped, multi-rogue exhibit multiple intersecting lines. Higher-order could also be but they parallel distinctive patterns ...

Extreme and rare events are nowadays the object of intensive research. Rogue waves are extreme waves that appear suddenly in many natural systems, even in apparently calm situations. Here we study numerically the rogue wave dynamics in an optically injected semiconductor laser with external periodic forcing that is implemented via direct modulation of the laser pump current. In the region of op...
