TL;DR: The macroscopic origin of these experimentally observed heavy-tail statistics is shown to be local refractive index variations inside the nonlinear medium, induced by multiphoton absorption and subsequent plasma thermalization.

Predictability of rogue events.
TL;DR: It is observed that rogue events do not necessarily appear without a warning, but are often preceded by a short phase of relative order, which sheds some new light on the fascinating phenomenon of rogue waves.

On the predictability of rogue events
TL;DR: In this paper, experimental data from three different rogue wave supporting systems, determinism and predictability of the underlying dynamics are evaluated with methods of nonlinear time series analysis with the objective of identifying the cause of rogue events.

Saturation of the all-optical Kerr effect in solids.
TL;DR: The appearance of saturating higher-order Kerr contributions at extreme intensities inside dielectric solid-state materials and a complete theoretical framework for estimations of these effects is presented.

Regularization of an autoconvolution problem in ultrashort laser pulse characterization
TL;DR: An iterative regularization approach will be described that is specifically adapted to the physical situation in pulse characterization, using a non-standard stopping rule for the iteration process of computing regularized solutions and illustrated by means of several case studies for synthetic noisy data and physically realistic complex-valued kernel functions.
