On the shape and likelihood of oceanic rogue waves
Scientific Reports, 2017 We consider the observation and analysis of oceanic rogue waves collected within spatio-temporal (ST) records of 3D wave fields. This class of records, allowing a sea surface region to be retrieved, is appropriate for the observation of rogue waves ...

Rogue waves in 2006–2010 [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2011 The evidence of rogue wave existence all over the world during last five years (2006–2010) has been collected based mainly on mass media sources. Only events associated with damage and human loss are included.

Rogue Wave Observations Off the US West Coast [PDF]
Oceanography, 2011 Rogue waves can cause significant damage to vessels and offshore structures and are linked to the loss of hundreds of lives at sea. They represent extreme statistical events with wave heights exceeding twice the significant wave height.

Physical Review E, 2017 The generation of rogue waves is investigated via a nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation. In this system, modulation instability is suppressed and is usually expected that rogue wave formation would also be limited. On the contrary, a parameter regime is identified where the instability is suppressed but nevertheless the number and amplitude ...

Evolution of rogue waves in interacting wave systems [PDF]
EPL (Europhysics Letters), 2009 Large amplitude water waves on deep water has long been known in the sea faring community, and the cause of great concern for, e.g., oil platform constructions. The concept of such freak waves is nowadays, thanks to satellite and radar measurements, well established within the scientific community.

On the probability of occurrence of rogue waves [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 A number of extreme and rogue wave studies have been conducted theoretically, numerically, experimentally and based on field data in the last years, which have significantly advanced our knowledge of ocean waves.

Physical mechanisms of the rogue wave phenomenon [PDF]
European Journal of Mechanics - B/Fluids, 2003 A review of physical mechanisms of the rogue wave phenomenon is given. The data of marine observations as well as laboratory experiments are briefly discussed. They demonstrate that freak waves may appear in deep and shallow waters. Simple statistical analysis of the rogue wave probability based on the assumption of a Gaussian wave field is reproduced.

Polarization‐Dependence of Nonlinear Optical Effects in Silicon: The Case of Ultrafast Processing
Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.The dependence of the input polarization for the nonlinear optical propagation in silicon is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The perturbative regime is examined using pump‐probe shadowgraphy and nonlinear transmission, whereas the case of permanent laser‐induced modifications is addressed using a combination of Raman micro‐spectroscopy ...
