We show that optical turbulence extreme events can exist in the transverse dynamics of a cavity containing molecules of triple quantum dots under conditions close to tunneling-induced transparency. These nanostructures, when coupled via tunneling, form a four-level configuration with tunable energy-level separations. We show that such a system exhibits multistability and bistability of Turing structures in instability domains with different critical wave vectors. By numerical simulation of the mean-field equation that describes the transverse dynamics of the system, we show that the simultaneous presence of two transverse solutions with opposite nonlinearities gives rise to a series of turbulent structures with the capability of generating two-dimensional rogue waves.

Abnormal chiral events in a semiconductor laser with coherent injection

“…This deterministic nature was also revealed in the analysis of delayed feedback semiconductor lasers where the effect of increased noise reduces the probability of rogue waves by preventing the dynamics from approaching the narrow path in the phase space that leads to extreme pulses [11]. Various mechanisms have been identified for the formation of rogue waves, from modulational instability [12] to soliton and breather occurrence [5] and competition of * giovanna.tissoni@inphyni.cnrs.fr extended structures associated to opposite signs of nonlinearity [13,14]. Rogues waves have also been reported from the interaction of optical vortices with opposite chiral charges [15].…”

Turing instability in quantum activator–inhibitor systems

“…Recent developments in nanotechnology have stimulated both theoretical and experimental investigations of Turing-type instability and patterns in micro- and nanoscale systems, such as rogue waves in a cavity with quantum dot molecules 60 , vectorial Kerr medium 61 , intracavity second harmonic generation 62 , longitudinal microresonators 63 , Kerr-active microresonators 64 , semiconductor microcavities 65 , and a bismuth monolayer 66 . Therefore, systematic analysis of the possibility of Turing instability in quantum systems is becoming important.…”
