Selection of Unstable Patterns and Control of Optical Turbulence by Fourier Plane Filtering
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on selection and stabilization of transverse optical patterns in a feedback mirror experiment. Amplitude filtering in the Fourier plane is used to select otherwise unstable spatial patterns. Optical turbulence observed for nonlinearities far above the pattern formation threshold is stabilized by low-pass filtering of the optical power spectrum. Experimental observations obtained with a photorefractive nonlinearity are consistent with calculations based on a generic, cubic nonlinearity. [S0031-9007(98)05860-8]

Fourier space control in an LCLV feedback system
We show that a control technique, based on feedback filtered at a Fourier plane, can stabilize the spatio-temporally disordered output of a nonlinear optical system. We demonstrate this in an experiment with a LCLV feedback system and in a theoretical model. We stabilize the system and select square and roll patterns. The technique is non-invasive in that the control signal becomes small when c...
متن کاملSelf-organization and Fourier selection of optical patterns in a nonlinear photorefractive feedback system
The formation of patterns in two transverse dimensions in photorefractive two-wave mixing with a single feedback mirror is investigated theoretically. We perform numerical simulations of the full ~311!-dimensional nonlinear model equations, displaying the breakup of the unstable annulus of active modes into hexagonal spots. Analytically we derive amplitude equations of the Landau type for patte...
متن کاملTransverse pattern formation and its control in photorefractive optics
A wealth of periodic transverse patterns is observed in nonlinear optical, photorefractive single-feedback systems. It is the extension of a photorefractive medium in the direction of propagation of the laser beam that allows for the formation of stable hexagons, squares, rhombuses and dodecagons above the first bifurcation of the system. In this article we review the formation of these periodi...
متن کاملnhancement of photolithography resolution by fractional Fourier domain filtering
A new spatial filtering technique is proposed for improving image contrast and depth of focus in projection photolithography. The technique is based on fractional Fourier domain filtering. Unlike the current pupil filtering method, the fractional filter can be placed at any location along the projection optical path other than the pupil plane. The theory of partial coherent diffraction combined...
متن کاملFlow Re-Stabilizing Observation via Air Injection during the Rotating Stall through a Single-stage Axial Compressor by a 2-D Finite-volume Approach
The air-injection as an active flow stabilizing techniques, were numerically examined in current work, during the aerodynamic behavior and the characteristics of an axial compressor. At first, in design condition the characteristic curve was numerically captured for a specified test compressor. The computed results showed good agreements with those obtained from the experiments, to validate the...
