After providing a mathematical background for some curious optical experiments in the 19th century, I will then describe how these ideas inform our understanding of the Deift conjecture for the Korteweg--de Vries equation. Specifically, in joint work with Chapouto and Visan, we showed that the evolution of almost-periodic initial data need not remain almost periodic.
