Abstract
Solitons are ubiquitous in nonlinear optics and are well known to radiate away energy when perturbed. This radiation is commonly called a dispersive wave (DW) because it spreads temporally due to chromatic dispersion [1]. It can also be interpreted as Čerenkov radiation. A classic example is DW emission by Kerr optical fiber solitons in presence of high-order dispersion. This case has important applications as it is a key mechanism of supercontinuum generation, for which tailoring DW emission has led to ever-increasing bandwidths [2].
