Solitonlike Structures in a Chaotic Ring Resonator
Solitons in optical fibers are stable entities that maintain their shape in spite of even quite severe perturbations1. We recently perforated an experiment in which solitonlike structures emerge from an optical s...

Observation of Chaos in a Passive Nonlinear Resonator
We report on recent progress in the study of a resonator filled with spin-1/2-atoms. The experiment consists of a Fabry-Perot resonator filled with sodium atoms in a buffer gas atmosphere. This system has been...

Experimental Studies of Fluctuations in Transient Optical Bistability
While transient phenomena in optical bistability have been discussed now for some time, it was only recently that the influence of noise on the transient behaviour has been studied theoretically |1,2| and expe...

Intracavity and Usual Phase Conjugation through Resonant Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing in a Three-Level Medium
Resonant phase conjugation in 3-level media using level degeneracy effects is a field of recent studies 1,2. Of particular interest is the generation of 2-photon induced Zeeman coherence among sublevels of an ato...
