Self-Organization in Optical Systems and Applications in Information Technology [E-Book] / edited by Mikhail A. Vorontsov, Walter B. Miller.
Contrary to monographs on non-linear optics this book concentrates on problems of self-organization in various important contexts. The reader learns how patterns in non-linear optical systems are created and what theoretical methods can be applied to describe them. Next, various aspects of pattern f...
