Measurement of scaling laws for shock waves in thermal nonlocal media
N. Ghofraniha, L. Santamaria Amato, V. Folli +3
We are able to detect the details of spatial optical collisionless wave-breaking through the high aperture imaging of a beam suffering shock in a fluorescent nonlinear nonlocal the…
Beam Instabilities in the Scale Free Regime
Viola Folli, Eugenio DelRe, Claudio Conti
The instabilities arising in a one-dimensional beam sustained by the diffusive photorefractive nonlinearity in out-of-equilibrium ferroelectrics are theoretically and numerically i…
The frustrated Brownian motion of nonlocal solitary waves
Viola Folli, Claudio Conti
We investigate the evolution of solitary waves in a nonlocal medium in the presence of disorder. By using a perturbational approach, we show that an increasing degree of nonlocalit…
Terahertz pulse generation via optical rectification in photonic crystal microcavities
Andrea Di Falco, Claudio Conti, Gaetano Assanto
Using a 3D fully-vectorial nonlinear time-domain analysis we numerically investigate the generation of terahertz radiation by pumping a photonic crystal microcavity out of resonanc…
Spatially incoherent modulational instability in a non local medium
Marco Peccianti, Claudio Conti, Emiliano Alberici +1
We investigate one-dimensional transverse modulational instability in a non local medium excited with a spatially incoherent source. Employing undoped nematic liquid crystals in a…
Spontaneously generated X-shaped light bullets
P. Di Trapani, G. Valiulis, A. Piskarskas +4
We observe the formation of an intense optical wavepacket fully localized in all dimensions, i.e. both longitudinally (in time) and in the transverse plane, with an extension of a…
