Observation of modulation instability and rogue breathers on stationary periodic waves

We report an experimental study on the modulation instability process and associated rogue breathers for the case of stationary periodic background waves, namely dnoidal and cnoidal envelopes. Despite being well-known solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE), the stability of such back...
