Transverse Patterns in Nonlinear Optical Resonators

by Kestutis Staliunas

2003 238 pages eng

This book is devoted to the formation and dynamics of localized structures (vortices, solitons) and of extended patterns (stripes, hexagons, tilted waves) in nonlinear optical resonators such as lasers, optical parametric oscillators, and the like. Theoretical analysis is performed by deriving order…
