title: Multistate intermittency and extreme pulses in a fiber laser.
abstract: In our recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 274101 (2011)], we demonstrated that slow random perturbations of a system parameter were responsible for the emergence of rogue waves in a fiber laser with coexisting attractors. In this paper we investigate how the probability of a particular state to appear in multistate intermittency can be controlled by low-pass noise filtering. We show that the probability of some states depends nonmonotonously on the noise amplitude and cutoff frequency. The conditions for the emergence of extreme pulses in a erbium-doped fiber laser are analyzed numerically and experimentally.
