Title :
Optical multi-hysteresises and “rogue waves” in nonlinear plasma

Abstract :
An intense irradiation of an overdense plasma can induce standing “rogue waves” and highly-multiple hysteresises due to a relativistic electron mass-effect. Those waves can be sustained by a radiation intensity much lower their peak intensity.
