Radiation-trapping: a new mechanism for chaos in optical systems

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Chaos in simple optical systems can be caused by a number of known mechanisms such as time delays or modulated parameters, or by more intrinsic effects like Rabi oscillations - described by the “Laser-Lorenz equations” - or by the light shift in conjunction with an external magnetic field. We show that the effect of radiation trapping, i.e. the reabsorption of fluorescence light, can produce chaos as well.
