Abstract: We show that the statistical distribution of the number of defects in an optical field does not discriminate between the linear and nonlinear case. The distributions of the separation time between successive defect occurrences within a spatial correlation domain yield a refractory time, which in the nonlinear case is a crucial parameter of the complex dynamics. In the linear case it depends trivially on the motion of the random scatterers.
