Abstract:
I will talk about general features of pattern formation in nonlinear optical systems, and show how optics provides the possibility of selecting patterns by control of external boundary conditions. Recent work in intracavity second harmonic generation where patterns have both classical and quantum features will then be discussed.Date: Friday, April 16, 2004
