Efforts to understand the physics of rogue waves have motivated the study of mechanisms that produce rare, extreme events, often through analogous optical setups. As many studies have reported nonlinear generation mechanisms, recent work has explored whether optical rogue events can be produced in linear systems. Here we report the observation of linear rogue events with tunable height, generated from light imprinted with a non-Markovian wavefront. Moreover, if the non-Markovian wavefront is allowed to propagate through a nonlinear medium, extraordinarily long-tailed intensity distributions are produced, which do not conform to the statistics previously observed in optical rogue wave experiments.

在非马尔可夫光下观察流氓事件

试图了解流浪物理学的努力促使人们研究通常通过类似的光学装置产生罕见的极端事件的机制。由于许多研究报告了非线性生成机制，因此最近的工作探索了是否可以在线性系统中产生光学流氓事件。在这里，我们报告观察到的高度可变的线性流氓事件的观察结果，该事件是由非马氏波前压印的光产生的。此外，如果允许非马氏波前传播通过非线性介质，则会产生异常长尾的强度分布，这与先前在光学流浪实验中观察到的统计数据不符。
