Abstract

This paper reviews a recent series of investigations on pattern formation in an extended optical system. While early phenomena studied in lasers or other nonlinear optical devices were either single mode or multimode, but with coherent phase relations among modes (mode locking), here we consider phenomena in which modes compete or mix in a weakly correlated or uncorrelated way, thus giving rise to “complex” patterns.

  87. Even though unnecessary for the purposes of this paper, we recall that the decorrelation mechanism in a photorefractive crystal is due to the diffusion of the space-charge wave, which provides the refractive index grating. The decorrelation length measured here coincides with the diffusion length, as discussed in detail in Arecchi, F.T., Boccaletti, S., Giacomelli, G., Puccioni, G.P., Ramazza P.L., Residori, S.: Physica D 61 1992.

Both the previous reference, as well as a recent application of the symmetry arguments to the patterns of a CO 2 laser by D’Angelo, E.J., Izaguirre, E., Mindlin, G.B., Huyet, G., Gil, L., Tredicce, J.R.: Phys. Rev. Lett. 68 1992, 3702, refer to a two-mode interaction and are concerned with the steady solutions, whereas here we study the time-dependent trajectories of a three-mode case.
