The Physics of the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation in fiber optics: Rogue waves, modulation instability and self-focusing phenomena

We review the different dynamical mechanisms leading to the emergence of coherent structures in physical systems described by the integrable one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (1DNLSE) in the focusing regime. In this context, localized and coherent structures are very often associated to...
