Abstract
Characterisation of optical rogue wave fluctuations in supercontinuum generation is reported using a gigahertz-bandwidth detection setup to directly measure the pulse energy statistics. The rogue wave energy statistics are shown to follow a strongly non-Gaussian L-shaped value probability distribution, and experimental results are in good agreement with numerical simulations.
