Single shot observation of rogue waves in optical turbulence by using time microscopy

Summary form only given. Fibers are considered as extraordinary tabletop laboratories to investigate optical turbulence and optical rogue waves (ORW). However ultrafast measurement of random optical power fluctuations is a challenging experimental task and the typical sub-picosecond timescale prevented-up to now-time-resolved observations of the awaited dynamics. We report the first single-shot recordings of ORW emerging from the propagation of random waves in optical fibers by using a specially designed ultrafast Time Microscope (TM) [1].
