This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the first time chaos could be controlled, for the last quarter of century, a diversity of publications have been devoted to the development of new control schemes and their applications to different laser systems. This book assembles several review papers which analyze and describe the most important achievements in controlling laser dynamics and synchronization of laser systems. The papers report a variety of interesting dynamical phenomena encountered in different types of lasers and related to control techniques. For the last 20 years laser physics and nonlinear dynamics have undergone a crucial progress. Understanding lasers as dynamical systems involves concepts associated mostly with the nonlinear nature of these systems. Since the appearance of the pioneering work of E. Ott, C. Grebogi and J. A. Yorke in 1990, who proposed a method for controlling chaos, active attempts for applying this method and other control methods to laser systems have been conducted. Many research works were directed not only to the observation and identification of dynamical regimes in lasers, but also to control laser dynamics and chaos. Considerable progress has been made in research and development of semiconductor and fiber lasers. The special interest these lasers stir up is explained by their easy operation, small size, low price, and, of course, their successful application in communications. However, in spite of the huge progress in laser physics and nonlinear dynamics, only few reviews have been devoted to this topic. The book has an interdisciplinary character because the topic of this book is a great mixture of four big areas of science: laser physics, nonlinear dynamics, control theory, and synchronization. Each area was developed independently till the first nonlinear control of laser dynamics has been realized. The aim of this book is to address a broad readership: students, researchers, engineers, technicians, who work with lasers, as well as scientists conducting interdisciplinary research; it is intended for both theoreticians and experimentalists. The intention of this book is to give the reader a good understanding of nonlinear laser dynamics, not only in one specific type of laser but rather in many different types of lasers, as each control method or coupling is introduced. Four chapters of the book are devoted to laser dynamics control and describe the most important achievements of the last two decades in this topic. These chapters review already classical and relatively new results on stabilizing unstable periodic orbits in chaotic lasers and other control methods providing the reader with an extensive bibliography. The book also contains four chapters devoted to synchronization of coupled lasers. Special attention in the book is given to experimental applications of different control methods and synchronization phenomena in different laser systems. Editing this book has been a rewarding experience for me. Since 1979, I have been associated with lasers, beginning as a postgraduate student at the Institute of Physics of the Belarus Academy of Sciences in Minsk when I helped build a CO2 laser for a research project under Professor Vladimir V. Churakov direction. He was the first person to instil in me an enthusiasm for optics and light. I then was very fortunate to do my thesis work under supervision of Academician of the Byelorussian Academy of Sciences Boris Ivanovich Stepanov, who encouraged me to reduce ideas to simple concepts. Being very diligent, he nonetheless, also was a cheery person. He used to say that a real scientist has to work more than 24 hours per day, write monographs and must never stay too much time in one research area, but should change direction from time to time. I also thank Dr. Boris F. Kuntsevich for helping me to understand the fundamental theory of laser oscillations. At that time, in the late 70s - early 80s, since there were no personal computers we had to search for analytical solutions of laser equations. This was a good exercise to learn the foundation of laser physics. I am grateful to my colleagues Drs. Vladimir O. Petukhov and Ivan M. Bertel, who played a key role in my experimental practice helping me to install and equip my first experimental setup. Being a part of a stimulating group of young researchers at the Laboratory of General Spectroscopy during the growth of the field of laser spectroscopy was an unparalleled opportunity. We built CO2 lasers and tried to stabilize them for spectroscopy applications. For a long period of time Dr. Viacheslav N. Chizhevsky and I worked together, he got me involved in the world of chaos and helped me take my first steps into numerical simulations with MATLAB; together we carried out many experiments with CO2 lasers. He shared his ideas with me and I deeply appreciate all our fruitful discussions. Back then, we thought (about) laser was a stable device and treated any instabilities and chaos as a consequence of mechanical vibrations or bad alignment. It was only in 1964 that the Russian physicists A. Z. Grazyuk and A. N. Oraevskii found in numerical studies of the equations describing a simplest (homogeneously broadened, single-mode, traveling wave, resonantly tuned) laser, a time-dependent solution that consisted of pulses, varying irregularly with time. They even used at that time the term chaotic to describe this irregular pulsing behavior. Laser dynamics stagnated in a rudimentary state for more than one decade until in 1975, when the German theoretical physicist G. Haken concluded, from the isomorphy of a laser with Lorenz equations, that lasers could exhibit a non-periodic, pulsing emission, that is a chaotic emission. Even though, in the early 80s we did not believe that the Lorenz-Haken instability was inherent to real laser systems; thinking it was only an academic curiosity invented by theoreticians far removed from the daily reality of experimental laser physics, nonlinear laser dynamics was born and in 1982 after the first clear experimental evidence of laser chaos, was baptized by F. T. Arecchi These results, sharpening the perception of lasers as unstable systems, were then followed by a large number of experimental and theoretical investigations. Many researchers tried to exploit the new acquired knowledge of laser dynamics in some applications. Even though, the principal aim was still focused on avoiding instabilities to obtain a stable laser emission. Curiously, we had observed chaos in a bidirectional ring CO2 laser long before it was discovered by Prof. Arecchi's group. However, we did not pay serious attention to these findings, thinking it was the same chaotic behavior that had been previously observed in solid-state lasers. Moreover, we could not even publish our results in public scientific journals because in the Soviet Union of the 80's, during the period of Cold War, laser subjects were classified as top secret and not even the word laser was allowed to be used in open scientific literature. To evade this ban and get permission to publish our results, we had to replace the word laser by synonym words optical quantum generator . Many scientists who dealt with lasers were not allowed to go abroad and participate in international conferences. I was mainly a laser experimentalist until 1997, when I went to Canada with my own means to participate in the Summer School on Nonlinear Dynamics in Biology and Medicine organized by Leon Glass and Michael C. Mackey at McGill University in Montreal, where we took very useful lectures and practical exercises on theoretical modeling of physiological systems. Thanks to these lectures I came to realize that the world obeys universal dynamical laws, and also discovered for myself that many phenomena observed in lasers are present in a wide class of dynamical systems. This instilled in me the idea that a laser can serve as a very useful instrument to elaborate new methods for controlling nonlinear dynamics and chaos, which can be applied then to other systems, including biological and medical ones. Professor Arecchi and coworkers developed the same idea in their recent works; they do mention such similarity in the first chapter of this book. During the economically difficult period of the perestroika many scientists from the former Soviet Union had to abandon science and either go work for the industry or establish their own business. Some of the science-loving researchers who yet insisted on working at universities and research institutes had to paint roofs and towers or buy and resell things in order to survive. Many of us were looking for a job abroad. I was very fortunate to be invited first in 1992 by Professor Michel Herman from Physical Chemistry Laboratory at the University of Brussels where I spent three months working with dye lasers and fast Fourier spectroscopy. Then, thanks to Professor Ramón Corbalán who invited me to create the Laboratory of Infrared and Far Infrared Lasers at Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona, I spent almost seven years in Spain, where we carried out a series of interesting experiments on laser dynamics control. During that period I was happy to visit other universities and laser laboratories, such as the laboratory of Professor Pierre Glorieux at Université de Lille (France) and Professor Fortunato Tito Arecchi at Institute de Ottica Applicata in Florence (Italy), where we carried out several collaborative experiments with CO2 lasers. I also thank Professor Ari Olafson for the kind hospitality he extended to me in Reykjavik where I spent four unforgivable months in 1996 working at the University of Iceland. Finally, to round out my scientific carrier I was invited to Mexico in 1999 where I presently work as a Research Professor at Centro de Investigaciones en Optica in Leon, Guanajuato. I wish to thank Dr. Vicente Aboites, physicist and philosopher, for his kind invitation. Although the laser technology in Mexico is not yet advanced, the government is making a great effort to help develop national laser science and technology. I thank CONACYT (National Council for Science and Technology) for partial support of the publication of this book through project No. 46973-E, in particular, and research on lasers and applications, in general. Working in the field of lasers and nonlinear dynamics at several different institutions has provided me with a broad perspective that I hope has successfully contributed to the manner in which many of the concepts are presented in this book. I thank all of the authors who contributed to this book and to the reviewers who worked under great time pressure to complete the reviewing process in a relatively short time. I sincerely hope this book will stimulate new discussions and fundamental issues to a deeper level of understanding of laser dynamics and to develop new approaches to control and synchronization of laser systems. The results of this exercise could be also useful on the definition of scientific and technological programs related to this topic.

Download or read book Delay Coupled Complex Systems written by Valentin Flunkert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-25 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work addresses time-delay in complex nonlinear systems and, in particular, its applications in complex networks; its role in control theory and nonlinear optics are also investigated. Delays arise naturally in networks of coupled systems due to finite signal propagation speeds and are thus a key issue in many areas of physics, biology, medicine, and technology. Synchronization phenomena in these networks play an important role, e.g., in the context of learning, cognitive and pathological states in the brain, for secure communication with chaotic lasers or for gene regulation. The thesis includes both novel results on the control of complex dynamics by time-delayed feedback and fundamental new insights into the interplay of delay and synchronization. One of the most interesting results here is a solution to the problem of complete synchronization in general networks with large coupling delay, i.e., large distances between the nodes, by giving a universal classification of networks that has a wide range of interdisciplinary applications.

Book excerpt: This book describes the fascinating recent advances made concerning the chaos, stability and instability of semiconductor lasers, and discusses their applications and future prospects in detail. It emphasizes the dynamics in semiconductor lasers by optical and electronic feedback, optical injection, and injection current modulation. Applications of semiconductor laser chaos, control and noise, and semiconductor lasers are also demonstrated. Semiconductor lasers with new structures, such as vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers and broad-area semiconductor lasers, are intriguing and promising devices. Current topics include fast physical number generation using chaotic semiconductor lasers for secure communication, development of chaos, quantum-dot semiconductor lasers and quantum-cascade semiconductor lasers, and vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. This fourth edition has been significantly expanded to reflect the latest developments. The fundamental theory of laser chaos and the chaotic dynamics in semiconductor lasers are discussed, but also for example the method of self-mixing interferometry in quantum-cascade lasers, which is indispensable in practical applications. Further, this edition covers chaos synchronization between two lasers and the application to secure optical communications. Another new topic is the consistency and synchronization property of many coupled semiconductor lasers in connection with the analogy of the dynamics between synaptic neurons and chaotic semiconductor lasers, which are compatible nonlinear dynamic elements. In particular, zero-lag synchronization between distant neurons plays a crucial role for information processing in the brain. Lastly, the book presents an application of the consistency and synchronization property in chaotic semiconductor lasers, namely a type of neuro-inspired information processing referred to as reservoir computing.

Download or read book Recent Advances in Metrology and Fundamental Constants written by T.J. Quinn and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2001-12-18 with total page 836 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exchange between physics and metrology is always fascinating and exciting. Many are the open problems in physics that call for extremely precise standards, many are the advances in metrology made possible by a deep and assiduous study of the underlying physics. One has just to think of the enormous sophistication required in the measurements of some absolute quantities such as the Avogadro, the gas, or the gravitational constants. It is also worth noticing that not only the units of a metrological system are interrelated through the fundamental constants, but also the latter find their full significance when they are determined through the most exacting metrological experiments. Over the past decade many improvements took place and these are discussed in this book; from one side the old caesium SI second definition has found a new realisation, with the “fountain” approach, replacing the classical thermal atomic beam. The use of “cold” atom techniques, in which bunches of inert atoms are collected, slowed down, and cooled, has opened a number of new and unexpected avenues for metrology and fundamental constants; one of these possibilities being the atom interferometry. Another important “quantum jump” was the demonstration of the possibility of performing a direct frequency division in the visible, using ultra short femtosecond pulses. In addition, the possibility of “counting” electrons or photons gave a fundamental support to the development of single-electron capacitance standards and to new scenarios in the absolute calibration of photo-detectors.

Download or read book Progress in Optics written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-10-27 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the thirty-seven years that have gone by since the first volume of Progress in Optics was published, optics has become one of the most dynamic fields of science. At the time of inception of this series, the first lasers were only just becoming operational, holography was in its infancy, subjects such as fiber optics, integrated optics and optoelectronics did not exist and quantum optics was the domain of only a few physicists. The term photonics had not yet been coined. Today these fields are flourishing and have become areas of specialisation for many science and engineering students and numerous research workers and engineers throughout the world. Some of the advances in these fields have been recognized by awarding Nobel prizes to seven physicists in the last twenty years. The volumes in this series which have appeared up to now contain nearly 190 review articles by distinguished research workers, which have become permanent records for many important developments. They have helped optical scientists and optical engineers to stay abreast of their fields. There is no sign that developments in optics are slowing down or becoming less interesting. We confidently expect that, just like their predecessors, future volumes of Progress in Optics will faithfully record the most important advances that are being made in optics and related fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 54 of the Advances in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics Series contains ten contributions, covering a diversity of subject areas in atomic, molecular and optical physics. The article by Regal and Jin reviews the properties of a Fermi degenerate gas of cold potassium atoms in the crossover regime between the Bose-Einstein condensation of molecules and the condensation of fermionic atom pairs. The transition between the two regions can be probed by varying an external magnetic field. Sherson, Julsgaard and Polzik explore the manner in which light and atoms can be entangled, with applications to quantum information processing and communication. They report on the result of recent experiments involving the entanglement of distant objects and quantum memory of light. Recent developments in cold Rydberg atom physics are reviewed in the article by Choi, Kaufmann, Cubel-Liebisch, Reinhard, and Raithel. Fascinating experiments are described in which cold, highly excited atoms (“Rydberg atoms) and cold plasmas are generated. Evidence for a collective excitation of Rydberg matter is also presented. Griffiin and Pindzola offer an account of non-perturbative quantal methods for electron-atom scattering processes. Included in the discussion are the R-matrix with pseudo-states method and the time-dependent close-coupling method. An extensive review of the R-matrix theory of atomic, molecular, and optical processes is given by Burke, Noble, and Burke. They present a systematic development of the R-matrix method and its applications to various processes such as electron-atom scattering, atomic photoionization, electron-molecule scattering, positron-atom scattering, and atomic/molecular multiphoton processes. Electron impact excitation of rare-gas atoms from both their ground and metastable states is discussed in the article by Boffard, Jung, Anderson, and Lin. Excitation cross sections measured by the optical method are reviewed with emphasis on the physical interpretation in terms of electronic structure of the target atoms. Ozier and Moazzen-Ahmadi explore internal rotation of symmetric top molecules. Developments of new experimental methods based on high-resolution torsional, vibrational, and molecular beam spectroscopy allow accurate determination of internal barriers for these symmetric molecules. The subject of attosecond and angstrom science is reviewed by Niikura and Corkum. The underlying physical mechanisms allowing one to generate attosecond radiation pulses are described and the technology needed for the preparation of such pulses is discussed. LeGouët, Bretenaker, and Lorgeré describe how rare earth ions embedded in crystals can be used for processing optically carried broadband radio-frequency signals. Methods for reaching tens of gigahertz instantaneous bandwidth with submegahertz resolution using such devices are analyzed in detail and demonstrated experimentally. Finally, in the article by Illing, Gauthier, and Roy, it is shown that small perturbations applied to optical systems can be used to suppress or control optical chaos, spatio-temporal dynamics, and patterns. Applications of these techniques to communications, laser stabilization, and improving the sensitivity of low-light optical switches are explored.
