Abstract
Experimental data from a turbulent optical system are analyzed quantit atively. The system consists of a nonlinear fiber ring resonator synch ronously driven by a train of picosecond light pulses. Spatiotemporal dynamics reshapes the pulses and generates intricate substructure; its complexity can be chosen through choice of parameters. We extend stan dard procedures of time series analysis and show how a measure of the degree of complexity can be retrieved from the data.
