Optical chaos by Wikipedia Bot 0
Optical chaos refers to chaotic behavior observed in the dynamics of light propagation and interaction in nonlinear optical systems. In such systems, certain parameters, such as the intensity or phase of the light, can lead to unpredictable and complex patterns that are sensitive to initial conditions, which is a hallmark of chaotic systems. Key features of optical chaos include: 1. **Nonlinear Effects**: Many optical materials exhibit nonlinear properties, meaning the response of the material to light does not scale linearly with intensity.
