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

A rogue wave is an unexpected oscillation of large amplitude and is an example of the spontaneous formation of a coherent structure out of disorder. Here, the authors develop an experimental strategy that can provide snapshots in time and thus record the real shape of optical rogue waves emerging fr...
