Abstract

Vortex mediated turbulence can be the key element in the generation of extreme events in spatially extended lasers with optical injection. Here, we study the interplay of vortex mediated turbulence and cavity solitons on the onset of extreme events in semiconductor lasers with injection. We first analyze and characterize these two features separately, spatiotemporal chaotic optical vortices for low values of the injection intensity and cavity solitons above the locking regime. In regimes where vortex mediated turbulence and cavity solitons coexist, localized peaks of light inhibit instead of enhancing the generation of rogue waves by locally regularizing the otherwise chaotic phase of the optical field. Cavity solitons can then be used to manipulate and control extreme events in systems displaying vortex mediated turbulence.
