摘要

We study experimentally and theoretically the dynamics of a spatially extended (along the propagation direction) oscillatory medium with coherent forcing. We observe abnormally high events, responsible for a different statistics of intensity and pulse height, in a regime where solitons and roll patterns are unstable. We focus on the formation of these high-peak events and their connection to the phase dynamics. Each abnormal event can be associated with a change in the slope of the phase time trace. Furthermore, the coexistence of +/- 2 pi phase rotations inside the cavity can be associated to the observation of abnormal events, similarly to recent predictions in bidimensional vortex turbulence.
