Emergence of extreme events in fiber-based parametric processes driven by a partially incoherent pump wave

Opt Lett. 2009 Apr 15;34(8):1138-40. doi: 10.1364/ol.34.001138.

Abstract

We present experimental and theoretical results showing efficient emergence of rogue wavelike extreme intensity spikes during the fiber-based induced-modulational instability process driven by a partially incoherent pump. In particular, we show that the rogue event probability can be easily controlled by adjusting the pump-signal detuning.
