Abstract
We unveil the relation between the linear Anderson localisation process and nonlinear modulation instability. Anderson localised modes seed the formation of solitary waves. Afterwards, optical-event horizon effects between dispersive waves and solitons produce an artificial collective acceleration that facilitates the collision of solitons, which could eventually lead to a rogue-soliton generation.
