Optical Random Riemann Waves in Integrable Turbulence
Optical Random Riemann Waves in Integrable Turbulence
We examine integrable turbulence (IT) in the framework of the defocusing cubic one-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. This is done theoretically and experimentally, by realizing an optical fiber experiment in which the defocusing Kerr nonlinearity strongly dominates linear dispersive effects. Using a dispersive-hydrodynamic approach, we show that the development of IT …
