Rogue solitons

Potential Energy Landscape

Researchers have established a link between rogue solitons appearing in supercontinuum generation process via successive soliton collisions and the minima of the energy landscape that can be described by the weak-interaction model. Using this model, a first detailed explanation for rogue solitons in optics has been represented. The generality and universality of the concept will be extremely useful to all communities dealing with the study of unpredictable rare waves.
