Nonlinear Optics
Author: Partha P. BanerjeePublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0824758676
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Nonlinear Optics probes in great depth quadratic and cubic nonlinearities, photorefractive nonlinear optics, the nonlinear optical properties of nematic liquid crystals, and photonic bandgap structures. This reference places core physical principles and theoretical concepts in dialogue with contemporary applications and research and presents the essential physics behind the products and promise of this very fertile field. It presents new developments in the dispersion management in nonlinear optical fibers and the combined effects of quadratic and cubic nonlinearities on harmonic generation. Coverage includes a review of linear wave propagation and the origins of optical nonlinearity.
Transverse-Pattern Formation in Photorefractive Optics
Author: Cornelia DenzPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540021094
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
Overview of current developments in nonlinear photorefractive optics. The book dicusses exciting discoveries, with special emphasis on transverse effects such as spatial soliton formation and interaction, spontaneous pattern formation and pattern competition in active feedback systems. Different aspects of potential applications, such as wave guiding in adaptive photorefractive solitons and techniques for pattern control for information processing, are also described.

Author: A. MillerPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401724466
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
Nonlinear Optical Materials and Devices for Applications in Information Technology takes the reader from fundamental interactions of laser light in materials to the latest developments of digital optical information processing. The book emphasises nonlinear optical interactions in bulk and low-dimensional semiconductors, liquid crystals and optical fibres. After establishing the basic laser--material interactions in these materials, it goes on to assess applications in soliton propagation, integrated optics, smart pixel arrays and digital optical computing.
Transverse Patterns in Nonlinear Optical Resonators

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
The growth of regularity from disorder, the evolution from the simple towards the complex, and the spontaneous formation of spatio temporal patterns in general are questions which intrigue everybody. This has been one of the hasic philosophical topics from ancient to modern times. Is nature able to create something fundamentally new by itself? If yes, how does this creation occurs? Or does nature only reproduce something which was already encoded in it, from the very beginning? This remained a topic exclusively for philoso phers until very recently, and it was only a few decades a. go that physicists started to convert this seemingly purely philosophical subject into a scientific discipline: a scientific discipline like other scientific disciplines, where one re lies on formulas and equations, on nunlerical simulations, and on laboratory experiments. This book is not about general questions related to pattern formation and self organization in nature. It is about spontaneous patterns in just one part of nature in nonlinear optical systems, and, more precisely, in nonlinear optical resonators. Nonlinear optical systems represent a small part of nature, hut a very representative part: one can observe here nearly all the known symmetries of patterns, one can generate nearly all known types of localized strlictlires and one can realize nearly all known spatial instabilities and spatial bifurcations.
Transverse Pattern Formation in Nonlinear Optical Systems
Author: Cornelia DenzSelf-Organization in Optical Systems and Applications in Information Technology
Author: Mikhail A. VorontsovPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642603157
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Contrary to monographs on non-linear optics this book concentrates on problems of self-organization in various important contexts. The reader learns how patterns in non-linear optical systems are created and what theoretical methods can be applied to describe them. Next, various aspects of pattern formation such as associative memory, information processing, spatio-temporal instability, photo refraction, and so on are treated. The book addresses graduate students and researchers in physics and optical engineering.
Dissipative Solitons: From Optics to Biology and Medicine
Author: Nail AkhmedievPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540782168
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
The dissipative soliton concept is a fundamental extension of the concept of solitons in conservative and integrable systems. It includes ideas from three major sources, namely standard soliton theory developed since the 1960s; nonlinear dynamics theory; and Prigogine's ideas of systems far from equilibrium. These three sources also correspond to the three component parts of this novel paradigm. This book explains the above principles in detail and gives the reader various examples.
