Optical fractals: characterization, cavities, coherence and connections

Mcdonald, GS; Christian, JM; Walsh, T; Huang, JG

Abstract

Uniform and regular systems can generate optical fractals. After characterizing different fractal-generating systems, emphasis is placed on the roles of boundary conditions and cavity feedback. New aspects of linear and nonlinear optical fractals are presented, along with considerations of system coherence and novel connections to some classic systems and configurations.
