We present a numerical study of the evolution dynamics of ``optical rogue waves, statistically-rare extreme red-shifted soliton pulses arising from supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber [D. R. Solli et al. Nature Vol. 450, 1054-1058 (2007)]. Our specific aim is to use nonlinear Schrodinger equation simulations to identify ways in which the rogue wave dynamics can be actively controlled, and we demonstrate that rogue wave generation can be enhanced by an order of magnitude through a small modulation across the input pulse envelope and effectively suppressed through the use of a sliding frequency filter.

In the numerical modelling of cascaded mid-infrared (IR) supercontinuum generation (SCG) we have studied how an ensemble of spectrally and temporally distributed solitons from the long-wavelength part of an SC evolves and interacts when coupled into the normal dispersion regime of a highly nonlinear chalcogenide fiber. This has revealed a novel fundamental phenomenon - the generation of a temporally and spectrally delocalized high energy rogue wave in the normal dispersion regime in the form of a strongly self-phase-modulation (SPM) broadened pulse. Along the local SPM shape the rogue wave is localized both temporally and spectrally. We demonstrate that this novel form of rogue wave is generated by inter-pulse Raman amplification between the SPM lobes of the many pulses causing the initially most delayed pulse to swallow the energy of all the other pulses. We further demonstrate that this novel type of rogue wave generation is a key effect in efficient long-wavelength mid-IR SCG based on the cascading of SC spectra and demonstrate how the mid-IR SC spectrum can be shaped by manipulating the rogue wave.
Supercontinuum generation is a highly nonlinear process that exhibits unstable and chaotic characteristics when developing from long pump pulses injected into the anomalous dispersion regime of an optical fiber. A particular feature associated with t his regime is the long-tailed rogue wave-like statistics of the spectral intensity on the long wavelength edge of the supercontinuum, linked to the generation of a small number of rogue solitons with extreme red-shifts. Here, we apply machine learning to analyze the characteristics of these solitons at the edge of the supercontinuum spectrum, and show how supervised learning can train a neural network to predict the peak power, duration, and temporal delay of these solitons from only the supercontinuum spectral intensity without phase information. The network accurately predicts soliton characteristics for a wide range of scenarios, from the onset of spectral broadening dominated by pure modulation instability to near octave-spanning supercontinuum with distinct rogue solitons.
Random excitation of intense periodic highly-localized single-cycle light pulses in a stochastic background by continuous-wave stimulated Brillouin scattering in long optical fibers with weak feedback is found experimentally. Events with low period n umbers are dominant and the optical feedback is crucial for the phenomenon. A three-wave coupling model for the phenomenon is proposed. The results are in good qualitative agreement with the observed phenomenon. The latter should be relevant to the understanding of similar rogue wave events in other nonlinear dissipative systems.
We present numerical results of supercontinuum (SC) generation in the mid-IR spectral region, specifically addressing the molecular fingerprint window ranging from 2.5 to 25 um. By solving the Generalized Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation (GNLSE) in a c halcogenide waveguide, we demonstrate low-power SC generation beyond 10 um from a pump at 5 um. Further, we investigate the short-pulse and CW regimes, and show that a simple linear dispersion profile, applicable to a broad range of chalcogenide media, is sufficient to account for the broad SC generation, and yield rich pulse dynamics leading to the frequent occurrence of rogue wave events. Results are encouraging as they point to the feasibility of producing bright and coherent light, by means of single low-power tabletop laser pumping schemes, in a spectral region that finds applications in such diverse areas as molecular spectroscopy, metrology and tomography, among others, and that is not easily addressable with other light sources
Numerical simulations are used to study how fiber supercontinuum generation seeded by picosecond pulses can be actively controlled through the use of input pulse modulation. By carrying out multiple simulations in the presence of noise, we show how t ailored supercontinuum Spectra with increased bandwidth and improved stability can be generated using an input envelope modulation of appropriate frequency and depth. The results are discussed in terms of the non-linear propagation dynamics and pump depletion.
