Experimental dynamics of Akhmediev breathers in a dispersion varying optical fiber

We investigate experimentally the dynamics of Akhmediev breathers in an optical fiber with a longitudinally tailored dispersion that allows to nearly freeze the breather evolution near their point of maximal compression. Our results are in good agreement with numerical simulations.
