  • Method and apparatus for generation and detection of rogue waves
    Patent number: 8873132
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generation and detection of rogue waves, including hydrodynamic rogue waves and optical rogue waves. A method for generating an optical rogue wave comprises the steps of generating an input pulse into a nonlinear optical medium, and perturbing the input pulse by directing a narrow-band seed radiation into the input pulse. The seed radiation has a frequency and timing to generate broadband radiation within the nonlinear optical medium.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 4, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 28, 2014
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Daniel R. Solli, Bahram Jalali, Claus Ropers
