Complex wave dynamics in a rugby microballs with semiconductor active mirrors
arXiv:nlin/0307018
Abstract
The optical implementation of complex network is considered for laser cavity formed by active mirrors deposited on the surface of ellipsoidal semiconductor microball having size of about 1 mm, whose eccentricity close to 0.5 and equivalent optical circuit, containing amplifying and absorbing media in Fourier-conjugated planes. Such rugby-ball microlaser has self-imaging cavity with efficient diffractive interconnections between different points of the mirrors. We show how the spatiotemporal dynamics of this nonlinear resonator is controlled by the geometry of gain-losses distribution making possible the analog modeling of the several generic nonlinear evolution equations.
