The Nonlinear Dynamics of Optical Systems group is involved in the research and applications of nonlinear dynamical systems ranging from transverse pattern formation to temporal soliton instabilities. Our studies are theoretical as well as experimental and concern both fundamental and applied physics.
Current interests : Nonlinear dynamics in nonlocal and stochastic optical systems: the example of liquid crystals
Influence of the spatial non-locality and the stochasticity on the propagation of light structures
Optical shock waves, self-steepening, collapse
Soliton propagation through a nematic liquid crystal
Nonlocality induced transverse traveling solitary wave
Other interests
Highly Nonlinear Regimes : Frequency Continuum and extreme events
Light localization : dissipative Solitons and Localized Structures
