The nonlinear stage of development of the spatiotemporal instability of the monochromatic Townes beam in a medium with self-focusing nonlinearity and normal dispersion is studied by analytical and numerical means. Small perturbations to the self-guided light beam are found to grow into two giant, splitting Y pulses featuring shock fronts on opposite sides. Each shocking pulse amplifies a co-propagating X wave, or dispersion- and diffraction-free linear wave mode of the medium, with super-broad spectrum.
We experimentally demonstrate simultaneous spatial and temporal compression in the propagation of light pulses in multimode nonlinear optical fibers. We reveal that the spatial beam self-cleaning recently discovered in graded-index multimode fibers i
We experimentally demonstrate Kerr beam self-cleaning in the anomalous dispersion regime of graded-index multimode optical fibers. By using 90 ps duration, highly chirped (2 nm bandwidth at -3dB) optical pulses at 1562 nm, we demonstrate a 2 decades
We report the experimental observation of oscillatory antiphase switching between counter-propagating light beams in Kerr ring microresonators, including the emergence of periodic behaviour from a chaotic regime. Self-switching occurs in balanced reg
The realization of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) requires a system that exhibits a near perfect symmetry. SSB manifests itself through a pitchfork bifurcation, but that bifurcation is fragile, and perturbed by any asymmetry or imperfections. Co
We report the experimental observation of Kerr beam self-cleaning in a graded-index multimode fiber, leading to output beam profiles different from a bell shape, close to the $LP_{01}$ mode. For specific coupling conditions, nonlinear coupling among
