Optical rogue waves emerge in nonlinear optical systems with extremely large amplitudes, and leave without a trace. In this work, we reveal the emergence of optical polarization rogue waves in supercontinuum generation from a zero-dispersion fiber, pumped by a dissipative soliton laser. Flat spectral broadening is achieved by modulation instability, followed by cascaded four-wave-mixing. In this process, we identify the emergence of optical polarization rogue waves, based on the probability density function of the relative distance among polarization states. Experimental results show that optical polarization rogue waves originate from vector multi-wave-mixing. Besides, we observe double peaks, and even triple peaks in the histogram of the state of polarization. This is a new and intriguing property, never observed so far in optical rogue waves, for example those emerging in the statistics of pulse intensities. Our polarization domain statistical analysis provides a new insight into the still debated topic of the mechanism for rogue wave generation in optical supercontinuum.

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
  • Modulation instability (MI) causes regular nonlinear wave trains to break down, potentially resulting in localized phenomena like rogue waves across various nonlinear dispersive media, including hydrodynamics and optics.
  • The classical MI dynamics can start with small-amplitude sidebands around a main wave peak, often visualized as a three-wave interaction setup in experiments, but more complex patterns can emerge through breather solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE).
  • This study explores MI in deep-water surface gravity waves, demonstrating that it can be initiated by just a single unstable sideband, yielding experimental results that align closely with nonlinear simulations, while also indicating shifts in focusing cycle behavior observed in longer-term wave evolution.
