From modulational instability to focusing dam breaks in water waves
Félicien Bonnefoy, Alexey Tikan, François Copie +8
We report water wave experiments performed in a long tank where we consider the evolution of nonlinear deep-water surface gravity waves with the envelope in the form of a large-sca…
Bound state soliton gas dynamics underlying the noise-induced modulational instability
Andrey Gelash, Dmitry Agafontsev, Vladimir Zakharov +3
We investigate theoretically the fundamental phenomenon of the spontaneous, noise-induced modulational instability (MI) of a plane wave. The long-term statistical properties of the…
Statistical properties of nonlinear stage of modulation instability in fiber optics
Adrien Kraych, Dmitry Agafontsev, Stephane Randoux +1
We present an optical fiber experiment in which we examine the space-time evolution of a modulationally unstable plane wave initially perturbed by a small noise. Using a recirculat…
Early stage of integrable turbulence in 1D NLS equation: the semi-classical approach to statistics
Giacomo Roberti, Gennady El, Stephane Randoux +1
We examine statistical properties of integrable turbulence in the defocusing and focusing regimes of one-dimensional small-dispersion nonlinear Schrodinger equation (1D-NLSE). Spec…
Phase and Amplitude single-shot measurement by using heterodyne time-lens and ultrafast digital time-holography
Alexey Tikan, Serge Bielawski, Christophe Szwaj +2
Temporal imaging systems are outstanding tools for single-shot observation of optical signals that have irregular and ultrafast dynamics. They allow long time windows to be recorde…
Spontaneous emergence of rogue waves in partially coherent waves: a quantitative experimental comparison between hydrodynamics and optics
Rebecca El Koussaifi, Alexey Tikan, Alessandro Toffoli +3
Rogue waves are extreme and rare fluctuations of the wave field that have been discussed in many physical systems. Their presence substantially influences the statistical propertie…
