Poisson distribution of extreme events in radiation of random distributed feedback fiber laser.

In the present Letter, we experimentally investigate extreme events in the time dynamics of the random distributed feedback fiber laser. We find that the probability of extreme events depends on the wavelength of the generated light. On spectrum tails, we register extreme events with intensity up to 50 times higher than the average generation power. Analysis of return times between successive rogue waves reveals their exponential distribution. Further investigation proves that the appearance of extreme waves in laser radiation obeys Poisson law. Characteristic radiation time varies from nanoseconds to tens of microseconds for most intense waves.

Spatial location of correlations in a random distributed feedback Raman fiber laser.

Nonlinear interactions between different components of multiwavelength radiation are one of the main processes shaping properties of quasi-CW fiber lasers. In random fiber lasers, nonlinear influence may be more complicated, as there are no distinct longitudinal modes in radiation because of the random nature of the feedback. In this Letter, we experimentally characterize internal correlations in the radiation of a multiwavelength random distributed feedback fiber laser. An analysis of Pearson correlation functions allows us to spatially locate the area over the fiber laser length in which correlations are more likely to occur. This, in turn, leads us to the conclusion about the main mechanism of spectral correlations-the relative intensity noise transfer from the pump wave.

Generation of spatio-temporal extreme events in noise-like pulses NPE mode-locked fibre laser.

We experimentally study spatio-temporal generation of extreme events in the radiation of NPE mode-locked fibre laser generating noise-like pulses. We show that new pulses starts from high-intensity spatio-temporal structure which consist of mainly 3 subsequent pulses which are both separated over fast and slow evolution time. Statistical analysis of the noise-like pulse evolution over round-trips shows that the pulse width and intensity varies with a period of around 85 round-trips which does not change from pulse to pulse. The intensity probability density function has a heavy tail originated only from events of pulse formation.

Statistical properties of radiation of multiwavelength random DFB fiber laser.

In the presented paper, the temporal and statistical properties of a Lyot filter based multiwavelength random DFB fiber laser with a wide flat spectrum, consisting of individual lines, were investigated. It was shown that separate spectral lines forming the laser spectrum have mostly Gaussian statistics and so represent stochastic radiation, but at the same time the entire radiation is not fully stochastic. A simple model, taking into account phenomenological correlations of the lines' initial phases was established. Radiation structure in the experiment and simulation proved to be different, demanding interactions between different lines to be described via a NLSE-based model.

Revealing statistical properties of quasi-CW fibre lasers in bandwidth-limited measurements.

We introduce a general technique how to reveal in experiments of limited electrical bandwidth which is lower than the optical bandwidth of the optical signal under study, whether the statistical properties of the light source obey Gaussian distribution or mode correlations do exist. To do that one needs to perform measurements by decreasing the measurement bandwidth. We develop a simple model of bandwidth-limited measurements and predict universal laws how intensity probability density function and intensity auto-correlation function of ideal completely stochastic source of Gaussian statistics depend on limited measurement bandwidth and measurement noise level. Results of experimental investigation are in good agreement with model predictions. In particular, we reveal partial mode correlations in the radiation of quasi-CW Raman fibre laser.

Generation dynamics of the narrowband Yb-doped fiber laser.

We present direct real-time experimental measurements and numerical modeling of temporal and statistical properties for the Ytterbium-doped fiber laser with spectral bandwidth of ~2 GHz. The obtained results demonstrate nearly exponential probability density function for intensity fluctuations. A significant decrease below the Gaussian probability has been experimentally observed for intensity fluctuations having value more than 2.5 of average intensity that may be treated as indication of some mode correlations.
