Abstract Random Lasers (RLs) and Random Fiber Lasers (RFLs) have been the subject of
intense research since their first experimental demonstration in 1994 and 2007, respectively …

Abstract This Review Article provides an overview of chaos in laser diodes by surveying
experimental achievements in the area and explaining the theory behind the phenomenon …

The paradigm of deterministic chaos has influenced thinking in many fields of science.
Chaotic systems show rich and surprising mathematical structures. In the applied sciences …

A prototype equation to the Lorenz model of turbulence contains just one (second-order)
nonlinearity in one variable. The flow in state space allows for a “folded” Poincaré map …

A new edition of this well-established monograph, this volume provides a comprehensive
overview over the still fascinating field of chaos research. The authors include recent …

A simple four-variable oscillator containing but one quadratic term produces a higher form of
chaos with two (rather than one) directions of hyperbolic instability on the attractor. The …

The study of chaotic systems has become a major scientific pursuit in recent years, shedding
light on the apparently random behaviour observed in fields as diverse as climatology and …

As a graduate student working in quantum optics I encountered the question that might be
taken as the theme of this book. The question definitely arose at that time though it was not …

In the past years there was a huge interest in experimental and theoretical studies in the
area of few-optical-cycle pulses and in the broader fast growing field of the so-called …

Elements of Quantum Optics gives a self-contained and broad coverage of the basic
elements necessary to understand and carry out research in laser physics and quantum …
