Experimental Investigation of the Transition to Spatiotemporal Chaos with a System-Size Control Parameter

Figure 4

The fourth moment, the kurtosis 𝐾 is plotted as a function of the laser-cross-section-size control parameter, which sets the system size. The dashed line shows the kurtosis obtained for a much larger 1-cm2 region driven at the same voltage-control parameter in the absence of laser light.
