Numerical study of high intensity events in the supercontinuum generation in the presence of input chirp

We examine the supercontinuum (SC) dependence on the chirp of the input laser beam and effects of input pulse noise. Simultaneously, we investigate the relation between the SC generation and creation of localized high intensity events. We show that despite their low probability, these events inevitably appear in the SC in our setup. Their devastating role in the information transfer stimulates the research aiming for a deeper understanding of these phenomena which is of high importance in different fields of science, ranging from material science to telecommunications. This study can be considered as a step forward in tracing a route for controlling high intensity events. © 2019 Elsevier Gmb
