abstract = {We report experimentally on extreme events in the pulsating
dynamics of an optical time-delayed system, i.e., a diode laser
subject to a phase-conjugate feedback. We study the effect of the
feedback strength on extreme events’ properties. We show a
transition to non-Gaussian statistics of the pulse intensity and
an increased number of extreme events as the mirror reflectivity
increases. The extreme event pulse is anticipated and followed by
smaller pulses with time-delay periodicity.}
