| dc.description.abstract | We report the observation of Lévy-like statistical configuration-to-configuration fluctuations in the intensity of emission from a novel system, the fiber-random amplifying medium, where active fiber segments are embedded randomly in a bulk of pointlike passive scatterers. Some rare configurations of fibers provide long, guided amplifying paths for the photons, leading to high jumps in the intensity, and thus to Lévy statistics. This system provides an optical realization of the Arrhenius cascade. | en |
