We experimentally demonstrate a broadband nonlinear interaction between a modulated pump and an unmodulated probe occupying different spatial modes of a few-mode fiber.

Pairs of soliton pulses are sent through a fiber and the pulse separation at fiber input and output are compared. Both attractive and repulsive forces are observed.

We experimentally show the existence of large and isolated guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering (GAWBS) modes in various photonic crystal fibres which are numerically identified with fundament

We report the first observation of optically trapped atoms.

We present the first experimental demonstration of a spatial instability in the nonlinear evolution of the state of polarization of an intense light beam in a birefringent Kerr-like medium.

We have studied the interaction of ~55 ps duration soliton pulse pairs over thousands of kilometers of optical fiber with loss periodically compensated by Raman gain.

We have observed a two-stage melting transition in a two-dimensional (2D) ultra-clean colloidal suspension of highly charged, submicron sized spheres in water using optical microscopy and digital

We have observed a two-step melting transition in a two dimensional system with classical screened Coulomb interactions.

Sensitivity of soft-decoded PM-8QAM was improved by 1.1-dB by moving to a new 64 point 4D constellation and to a tailored LDPC code.

In this experimental investigation two novel heat sink designs that employ different flow phenomena for enhanced heat transfer are presented.
