Complex light: Dynamic phase transitions of a light beam in a nonlinear non-local disordered medium
Claudio Conti
The dynamics of several light filaments (spatial optical solitons) propagating in an optically nonlinear and non-local random medium is investigated using the paradigms of the phys…
Callen's Adiabatic Piston and the Limits of the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Bruno Crosignani, Paolo Di Porto, Claudio Conti
The limits of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which reigns undisputed in the macroscopic world, are investigated at the mesoscopic level, corresponding to spatial dimensions of a…
On the generation and the nonlinear dynamics of X-waves of the Schroedinger equation
Claudio Conti
The generation of finite energy packets of X-waves is analysed in normally dispersive cubic media by using an X-wave expansion. The 3D nonlinear Schroedinger model is reduced to a…
Optical parametric oscillators in isotropic photonic crystals and cavities: 3D time domain analysis
Claudio Conti, Andrea Di Falco, Gaetano Assanto
We investigate optical parametric oscillations through four-wave mixing in resonant cavities and photonic crystals. The theoretical analysis underlines the relevant features of the…
