Extreme events in forced oscillatory media in 0, 1 and 2 dimensions
S. Barland, M. Brambilla, L. Columbo +14
One of the open questions in the field of optical rogue waves is the relevance of the number of spatial dimensions in which waves propagate. Here we review recent results on extrem…
Spatio-temporal extreme events in a laser with a saturable absorber
Cristina Rimoldi, Stéphane Barland, Franco Prati +1
We study extreme events occurring in the transverse section of the field emitted by a broad-area semiconductor laser with a saturable absorber. The spatio-temporal events o…
Refractory period of an excitable semiconductor laser with optical injection
Bruno Garbin, Axel Dolcemascolo, Franco Prati +3
Injection-locked semiconductor lasers can be brought to a neuron-like excitable regime when parameters are set close to the unlocking transition. Here we study experimentally the r…
Observation of electro-activated localized structures in broad area VCSELs
J. Parravicini, M. Brambilla, L. Columbo +5
We demonstrate experimentally the electro-activation of a localized optical structure in a coherently driven broad-area vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) operated belo…
Topological solitons as addressable phase bits in a driven laser
B. Garbin, J. Javaloyes, G. Tissoni +1
Optical localized states are usually defined as self-localized bistable packets of light which exist as independently controllable optical intensity pulses either in the longitudin…
A hybrid soliton-based system: generation and steering of cavity solitons by means of photorefractive soliton electro-activation
Lorenzo Columbo, Carlo Rizza, Massimo Brambilla +2
We propose a hybrid soliton-based system consisting of a centrosymmetric photorefractive crystal, supporting photorefractive solitons, coupled to a vertical cavity surface emitting…
