Temporal tweezing of light: trapping and manipulation of temporal cavity solitons
Jae K. Jang, Miro Erkintalo, Stephane Coen +1
Optical tweezers use laser light to trap and move microscopic particles in space. Here we demonstrate a similar control over ultrashort light pulses, but in time. Our experiment in…
Instabilities, breathers and rogue waves in optics
John M. Dudley, Frédéric Dias, Miro Erkintalo +1
Optical rogue waves are rare yet extreme fluctuations in the value of an optical field. The terminology was first used in the context of an analogy between pulse propagation in opt…
Observation of soliton explosions in a passively mode-locked fiber laser
Antoine F. J. Runge, Neil G. R. Broderick, Miro Erkintalo
Soliton explosions are among the most exotic dissipative phenomena studied in mode-locked lasers. In this regime, a dissipative soliton circulating in the laser cavity experiences…
Observation of dispersive wave emission by temporal cavity solitons
Jae K. Jang, Miro Erkintalo, Stuart G. Murdoch +1
We examine a coherently-driven, dispersion-managed, passive Kerr fiber ring resonator and report the first direct experimental observation of dispersive wave emission by temporal c…
Nonlinear optics of fibre event horizons
Karen E. Webb, Miro Erkintalo, Yiqing Xu +4
The nonlinear interaction of light in an optical fibre can mimic the physics at an event horizon. This analogue arises when a weak probe wave is unable to pass through an intense s…
