Supratransmission dans une ligne électrique de Klein-Gordon
2017
National audience; Nous présentons une ligne électrique dont la tension obéit aux équations de Klein-Gordon d’ordre 5afin d’en étudier les propriétés de transmission. Nous focalisons sur la transmission d’énergie en bande interdite,c’est à dire lorsque le système est excité en dehors de sa bande passante. Nous avons pu expérimentallement mettreen évidence que lorsque l’amplitude de l’excitation excède un seuil, le système génére des modes non linéaires deforte amplitude via le phénomène de supratransmission.
Energy transmission in the gap of nonlinear media triggered by deterministic and stochastic driving
2016
International audience; These past years, a growing interest has been devoted to the analysis of the response of nonlinearmedia to various excitations wether random or deterministic in order to better characterizetheir transmission properties [1, 2, 3]. Especially, since the introduction of the concept of soliton,the development of nonlinear electrical transmission lines has provided an efficient tool toexperimentally investigate the behaviour of these nonlinear waves [4]. Recently, some effortshave focused on the energy transmission in the gap of media obeying to equations deriving fromthe nonlinear Schr¨odinger model [5, 6]. Indeed, Geniet and Leon have shown that such nonlinearsystems, w…
From finite-gap solutions of KdV in terms of theta functions to solitons and positons
2010
We degenerate the finite gap solutions of the KdV equation from the general formulation in terms of abelian functions when the gaps tends to points, to recover solutions of KdV equations in terms of wronskians called solitons or positons. For this we establish a link between Fredholm determinants and Wronskians.
On the analytical expression of the multicompacton and some exact compact solutions of a nonlinear diffusive Burgers’type equation
2018
International audience; We consider the nonlinear diffusive Burgers' equation as a model equation for signals propagation on the nonlinear electrical transmission line with intersite nonlinearities. By applying the extend sine-cosine method and using an appropriate modification of the Double-Exp function method, we successfully derived on one hand the exact analytical solutions of two types of solitary waves with strictly finite extension or compact support: kinks and pulses, and on the other hand the exact solution for two interacting pulse solitary waves with compact support. These analytical results indicate that the speed of the pulse compactons doesn't depends explicitly on the pulse a…
Nonlinear topological symmetry protection in a dissipative system
2023
We report an experimental and theoretical investigation of a system whose dynamics is dominated by an intricate interplay between three key concepts of modern physics: topology, nonlinearity, and spontaneous symmetry breaking. The experiment is based on a two-mode coherently-driven optical resonator in which photons interact through the Kerr nonlinearity. In presence of a phase defect between the modes, a nonlinear attractor develops, which confers a synthetic M\"obius topology to the modal structure of the system. That topology is associated with an inherently protected exchange symmetry between the modes, enabling the realization of spontaneous symmetry breaking in ideal, bias-free, condi…
Rains of Solitons in a Fiber Laser
2009
We report a novel and intriguing nonlinear dynamics observed in a fiber laser cavity, in which soliton pulses are created from an extended noisy background and drift until they reach a condensed phase comprising several tens of aggregated solitons. This soliton flow can be adjusted with manual cavity tuning, and can even be triggered by the injection of an external low-power cw laser.
Nonlinear femtosecond pulse propagation in all-solid photonic bandgap fiber
2009
Nonlinear femtosecond pulse propagation in all-solid photonic bandgap fiber is investigated experimentally and numerically for both the photonic bandgap guiding in the central silica core and the total internal reflection in germanium doped inclusions.
Emergence of rogue waves from optical turbulence
2011
International audience; We provide some general physical insights into the emergence of rogue wave events from optical turbulence by analyzing the long term evolution of the field. Depending on the amount of incoherence in the system (i.e., Hamiltonian), we identify three turbulent regimes that lead to the emergence of specific rogue wave events: (i) persistent and coherent rogue quasi-solitons, (ii) intermittent-like rogue quasi-solitons that appear and disappear erratically, and (iii) sporadic rogue waves events that emerge from turbulent fluctuations as bursts of light or intense flashes.
Shallow water rogue waves in nonlinear optical fibers
2013
The dynamics of extreme waves, often known as freak or rogue waves (RW), is presently a subject of intensive research. In oceanography, RW are mostly known as a sudden deep-water event which is responsible for ship wreakages and can be modeled by the 1D Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation (NLSE). In this framework, an ideal testbed is provided by optical pulse propagation in nonlinear optical fibers: extreme solitary wave emissions during supercontinuum generation or the first experimental observation of the Peregrine solitons have indeed been carried out exploiting the modulation instability occuring in fibers with anomalous dispersion.
Vibrating temporal soliton pairs
2007
The study of temporal multisoliton complexes in dissipative systems is of potential interest for the development of new schemes of optical data transport and processing. In the present work, we thus consider pulsations of a soliton pair that consist mainly in the oscillations of the temporal separation and phase relationship between the two pulses, so that the relative motion of the two bound solitons resembles a vibrational motion.
