Carrier wave shocking is studied using the Pseudo-Spectral Spatial Domain (PSSD) technique. We describe the shock detection diagnostics necessary for this numerical study, and verify them against theoretical shocking predictions for the dispersionless case. These predictions show Carrier Envelope Phase (CEP) and pulse bandwidth sensitivity in the single-cycle regime. The flexible dispersion management offered by PSSD enables us to independently control the linear and nonlinear dispersion. Customized dispersion profiles allow us to analyze the development of both carrier self-steepening and shocks. The results exhibit a marked asymmetry between normal and anomalous dispersion, both in the limits of the shocking regime and in the (near) shocked pulse waveforms. Combining these insights, we offer some suggestions on how carrier shocking (or at least extreme self-steepening) might be realised experimentally.

The study on carrier phase estimation (CPE) approaches, involving a one-tap normalized least-mean-square (NLMS) algorithm, a block-wise average algorithm, and a Viterbi-Viterbi algorithm has been carried out in the long-haul high-capacity dispersion-
unmanaged coherent optical systems. The close-form expressions and analytical predictions for bit-error-rate behaviors in these CPE methods have been analyzed by considering both the laser phase noise and the equalization enhanced phase noise. It is found that the Viterbi-Viterbi algorithm outperforms the one-tap NLMS and the block-wise average algorithms for a small phase noise variance (or effective phase noise variance), while the three CPE methods converge to a similar performance for a large phase noise variance (or effective phase noise variance). In addition, the differences between the three CPE approaches become smaller for higher-level modulation formats.
An extended interference pattern close to surface may result in both a transmissive or evanescent surface fields for large area manipulation of trapped particles. The affinity of differing particle sizes to a moving standing wave light pattern allows
us to hold and deliver them in a bi-directional manner and importantly demonstrate experimentally particle sorting in the sub-micron region. This is performed without the need of fluid flow (static sorting). Theoretical calculations experimentally confirm that certain sizes of colloidal particles thermally hop more easily between neighboring traps. A new generic method is also presented for particle position detection in an extended periodic light pattern and applied to characterization of optical traps and particle behavior
We study, both theoretically and experimentally, modulational instability in optical fibers that have a longitudinal evolution of their dispersion in the form of a Dirac delta comb. By means of Floquet theory, we obtain an exact expression for the po
sition of the gain bands, and we provide simple analytical estimates of the gain and of the bandwidths of those sidebands. An experimental validation of those results has been realized in several microstructured fibers specifically manufactured for that purpose. The dispersion landscape of those fibers is a comb of Gaussian pulses having widths much shorter than the period, which therefore approximate the ideal Dirac comb. Experimental spontaneous MI spectra recorded under quasi continuous wave excitation are in good agreement with the theory and with numerical simulations based on the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation.
Solitons are shape preserving waveforms that are ubiquitous across nonlinear dynamical systems and fall into two separate classes, that of bright solitons, formed in the anomalous group velocity dispersion regime, and `dark solitons in the normal dis
persion regime. Both types of soliton have been observed in BEC, hydrodynamics, polaritons, and mode locked lasers, but have been particularly relevant to the generation of chipscale microresonator-based frequency combs (microcombs), used in numerous system level applications in timing, spectroscopy, and communications. For microcombs, both bright solitons, and alternatively dark pulses based on interlocking switching waves, have been studied. Yet, the existence of localized dissipative structures that fit between this dichotomy has been theoretically predicted, but proven experimentally elusive. Here we report the discovery of dissipative structures that embody a hybrid between switching waves and dissipative solitons, existing in the regime of (nearly) vanishing group velocity dispersion where third-order dispersion is dominant, hence termed as `zero-dispersion solitons. These dissipative structures are formed via collapsing switching wave fronts, forming clusters of quantized solitonic sub-structures. The switching waves are formed directly via synchronous pulse-driving of a photonic chip-based Si3N4 microresonator. The resulting frequency comb spectrum is extremely broad in both the switching wave and zero-dispersion soliton regime, reaching 136 THz or 97% of an octave. Fourth-order dispersion engineering results in dual-dispersive wave formation, and a novel quasi-phase matched wave related to Faraday instability. This exotic unanticipated dissipative structure expands the domain of Kerr cavity physics to the regime near zero-dispersion and could present a superior alternative to conventional solitons for broadband comb generation.
Breathers are localized waves, that are periodic in time or space. The concept of breathers is useful for describing many physical systems including granular lattices, Bose-Einstein condensation, hydrodynamics, plasmas and optics. Breathers could exi
st in both the anomalous and the normal dispersion regime. However, the demonstration of optical breathers in the normal dispersion regime remains elusive to our knowledge. Kerr comb generation in optical microresonators provides an array of oscillators that are highly coupled via the Kerr effect, which can be exploited to explore the breather dynamics. Here, we present, experimentally and numerically, the observation of dark breathers in a normal dispersion silicon nitride microresonator. By controlling the pump wavelength and power, we can generate the dark breather, which exhibits an energy exchange between the central lines and the lines at the wing. The dark breather breathes gently and retains a dark-pulse waveform. A transition to a chaotic breather state is also observed by increasing the pump power. These dark breather dynamics are well reproduced by numerical simulations based on the Lugiato-Lefever equation. The results also reveal the importance of dissipation to dark breather dynamics and give important insights into instabilities related to high power dark pulse Kerr combs from normal dispersion microreosnators.
