Abstract
We study the current relaxation of a wave packet in a nonlinear random sample coupled to the continuum and show that the survival probability decays as . For intermediate times , the exponent satisfies a scaling law where is the nonlinearity strength and is the localization length of the corresponding random system with . For and we find a universal decay with which is a signature of the {\it nonlinearity-induced delocalization}. Experimental evidence should be observable in coupled nonlinear optical waveguides.
