Summary: The study demonstrates that asymmetry in four-body interactions among KPOs leads to photon number inhomogeneity, which degrades performance. A method is proposed to reduce inhomogeneity by tuning the detunings of KPOs based on their positions, without monitoring their states during adiabatic time evolution.

Summary: In this study, the isochronicity, linearizability, and exact solubility of n-dimensional nonlinear position-dependent mass (PDM) oscillators within the standard Lagrangian settings have been discussed. It was found that linearizability is only possible for n=1 and the Euler-Lagrange invariance falls short for n >= 2 under PDM settings. Additional invariances are being sought to address this limitation.

Summary: This study examines the damped parametric driven nonlinear pendulum equation/oscillator, along with associated oscillators for arbitrary angles with the vertical pivot. The pendulum equation is reduced to the damped Duffing equation with variable coefficients for analysis and solution. Two analytical approximations for the damped undisturbed NPE and three analytical approximations for the damped disturbed NPE are obtained using different methods, and their solutions are compared with 4th-order Runge-Kutta approximations. The proposed approaches and solutions are helpful in understanding nonlinear phenomena in various scientific fields.

Summary: This study demonstrates the dynamics of a common optical parametric oscillator (OPO) using dispersive Fourier transform (DFT) technique. A MgO:PPLN-based OPO is pumped synchronously with an Yb-doped fiber amplifier, and generates a tunable femtosecond signal wave from 1284 to 1517 nm. The DFT device records the birth and extinction dynamics of the OPO's single and dual-wavelength signal wave. The results provide unique insights into OPO evolution and are instructive for understanding OPO and other nonlinear devices and materials.

Summary: Carpets of beating cilia are a classic example of self-organized synchronization of noisy biological oscillators, characterized by traveling waves of cilia phase. In this study, a multi-scale model of a cilia carpet is presented, which incorporates hydrodynamic interactions and active noise of cilia beat. It is revealed that there is an abrupt loss of global synchronization beyond a certain noise strength, and stochastic transitions between synchronized and disordered dynamics are characterized.

Summary: This paper introduces topological constant-intensity (TCI) waves in the context of non-Hermitian photonics. Unlike other known topological defects, these waves exhibit counterintuitive behavior with phase differences across space and no accompanying intensity variations. Such solutions only exist in non-Hermitian systems and are directly related to the real and imaginary parts of the potential.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the orbital angular momentum of a light field can be thermalized in a nonlinear cylindrical multimode optical waveguide. The distribution of power modal occupancies in thermal equilibrium is characterized by a generalized Rayleigh-Jeans distribution, which is different from the temperature associated with the longitudinal electromagnetic momentum flow of the optical field. Contrary to previous results, the ground state is not always the most populated in terms of power due to the presence of OAM.

Summary: In this study, we generated optical tornado waves using spatial multiplexing on a single-phase modulation device. These waves exhibit a spiral intensity pattern with decreasing radius and pitch in their focal region. We investigated the propagation dynamics of these novel waves and identified the key factors leading to angular acceleration. Additionally, we proposed a two-color scheme to dynamically generate twisting light analogous to a drill, capable of rotating at THz frequencies.
