Extreme Events Following Bifurcation To Spatiotemporal Chaos In A Spatially Extended Microcavity Laser

Abstract

The occurrence of extreme events in a spatially extended microcavity laser has been recently reported [Selmi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 013901 (2016)] to be correlated to emergence of spatiotemporal chaos. In this dissipative system, the role of spati
