Abstract

Physical approximations to fractal radiation patterns have been largely limited to essentially random distributions with fractal-like scaling behaviour and the generation of fractal radiation patterns using fractal arrays. Recently, a complex design for an all-optical device that generates fractal intensity patterns, based on the principle of the multiple reduction copy machine (Fig. 1 (a)) with feedback, has been introduced [1]. Within this work the resonator properties of a modified and simplified version of such a device are investigated.
