Overview
Experiments and theory have rapidly progressed on nonlinear optical extreme waves, showing that guided wave nonlinear optics and fiber lasers provide a relatively simple, accessible and controllable test bed for the observations and accurate statistical studies of extreme wave phenomena that obey the same universal rules, which apply to a large ensemble of different physical systems. With introductory material to make the subject area accessible to non-specialists such as graduate and PhD students, and researchers working in other areas where extreme waves are relevant, this book features contributions by prominent scientists in this emerging field and is a comprehensive treatment of optical extreme wave research.

Author Information
Stefan Wabnitz obtained the Laurea Degree in electronics engineering from the University of Rome ""La Sapienza"" in 1982, an MS in electrical engineering from Caltech in 1983, and a PhD in applied electromagnetism from the Italian Ministry of Education in 1988. He was a researcher of the Optical Communications Department of the Ugo Bordoni Foundation between 1985 and 1996, where he contributed to the theory of nonlinear wave propagation in optical fibers and waveguides, with particular interest in wave instabilities and soliton phenomena. In 1996, he became a full professor in physics at the University of Burgundy in Dijon, France. Since September 2007, he joined as a full professor of the Department of Electronics for Automation of the University of Brescia, Italy. His current research activities involve nonlinear propagation effects in high-bit-rate optical communication systems and in all-optical information processing devices. He is the author and co-author of more than 500 refereed papers and conference presentations, the deputy editor of Elsevier’s Optical Fiber Technology, and is a member of the Optical Society of America, and of the IEEE-Photonics Society. In October 2008, he was nominated Fellow of the Optical Society of America.
