We predict, for the first time to our knowledge, that purely-absorptive nonlinearity can support spontaneous spatial fractal pattern formation. A passive optical ring cavity with a thin slice of saturable absorber is analyzed. Linear stability analys... Read More about Spontaneous spatial fractal pattern formation in absorptive systems.

Spatiotemporal dispersion and wave envelopes with relativistic and pseudorelativistic characteristics (2012)
Journal Article
Christian, J., McDonald, G., Hodgkinson, T., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2012). Spatiotemporal dispersion and wave envelopes with relativistic and pseudorelativistic characteristics. Physical Review Letters, 108(3), 034101-1. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.034101

A generic nonparaxial model for pulse envelopes is presented. Classic Schro¨dinger-type descriptions of
wave propagation have their origins in slowly-varying envelopes combined with a Galilean boost to the
local time frame. By abandoning these two... Read More about Spatiotemporal dispersion and wave envelopes with relativistic and pseudorelativistic characteristics.
