Rogue Waves, Self-similarity, and Integrable Turbulence

We explore extreme event occurrence in the integrable turbulence with self-similar asymptotics. We posit that rogue waves in such systems manifest themselves as giant fluctuations away from average self-similar dynamics of the system. We support our proposition with numerical simulations of rogue wave excitation in the self-similar regime of stimulated Raman scattering. We show that our results hold irrespective of a specific source correlation model, suggesting the universality of the proposed scenario.
