Abstract

Extreme-amplitude events and rare instabilities are observed for more than a decade in various optical systems. Specifically in dissipative systems, such as Raman fiber lasers, laser diodes or mode-locked lasers, to name a few, long-tailed statistics and highly-localized temporal structures have been observed [1,2]. Recent studies showed that stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) can also trigger the generation of extreme events in various configurations, from self-pulsing fiber lasers [3,4] to Q-switched random fiber lasers [5]. It is indeed known that the stochastic nature of SBS can promote the emergence of randomly distributed giant pulses which can induce irreversible damages in fiber laser systems. In order to understand and open the possibility to harness such extreme events, numerical models have then to be developed and refined. In the context of self-pulsed fiber lasers, a few studies taking into account only one or two fundamental Stokes orders have already been reported [6].
