In this Letter, experimental observation of dissipative rogue waves (DRWs) due to spectral filtering induced pulse instabilities in a mode-locked ytterbium (Yb) fiber laser has been presented. A semiconductor saturable absorber mirror was used to mode-lock the linear cavity laser and a chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) was used for dispersion management, which also acted as a spectral filter and output coupler. Under stable conditions, the cavity delivered dispersion managed dissipative solitons of 447 fs duration and 0.69 nJ pulse energy at 10.19 MHz repetition rate with uniform intensity distribution over a long time span. As the spectral width increased with pump power, random intensity fluctuations were observed in the pulse train due to the filtering effect of the CFBG. Employing a dispersive Fourier transform by stretching the output pulse train in time allowed the existence of DRWs more than 4 times stronger than the significant wave height to be observed. Further increments of pump power led to a stable multi-pulsing state.

The fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation: Soliton turbulence, modulation instability, and extreme rogue waves.

In this paper, we undertake a systematic exploration of soliton turbulent phenomena and the emergence of extreme rogue waves within the framework of the one-dimensional fractional nonlinear Schrödinger (FNLS) equation, which appears in many fields, such as nonlinear optics, Bose-Einstein condensates, plasma physics, etc. By initiating simulations with a plane wave modulated by small noise, we scrutinized the universal regimes of non-stationary turbulence through various statistical indices. Our analysis elucidates a marked increase in the probability of rogue wave occurrences as the system evolves within a certain range of Lévy index α, which can be ascribed to the broadened modulation instability bandwidth.

We demonstrate that fundamental nonlinear localized modes can exist in the Chen-Lee-Liu equation modified by several parity-time (PT) symmetric complex potentials. The explicit formula of analytical solitons is derived from the physically interesting Scarf-II potential, and families of spatial solitons in internal modes are numerically captured under the optical lattice potential. By the spectral analysis of linear stability, we observe that these bright solitons can remain stable across a broad scope of potential parameters, despite the breaking of the corresponding linear PT-symmetric phases.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment for neuropsychiatric disorders with broad potential for new applications, but the neural circuits that are engaged during TMS are still poorly understood. Recordings of neural activity from the corticospinal tract provide a direct readout of the response of motor cortex to TMS, and therefore a new opportunity to model neural circuit dynamics. The study goal was to use epidural recordings from the cervical spine of human subjects to develop a computational model of a motor cortical macrocolumn through which the mechanisms underlying the response to TMS, including direct and indirect waves, could be investigated.

Article Synopsis
  • This paper explores the properties of modulational instability (MI) and rogue waves (RWs) using generalized fractional nonlinear Schrödinger (FNLS) equations with rational potentials, focusing on the relationship between wavenumber and instability growth rates.
  • The study confirms through numerical simulations that MI occurs in focusing conditions and reveals how certain time-dependent potentials lead to controllable RWs in both cubic and quintic FNLS equations.
  • Additionally, it investigates the generation of higher-order RWs and identifies the conditions for their emergence, providing insights into the interaction between system parameters and potentials, which could inform future nonlinear wave research.
