Single-cavity, multiline laser system with large coherence length.

We present a new approach of generating the several wavelengths required for color holography with coherence lengths in the range of several meters. Our proposed laser system consists of an argon-ion laser, which is equipped with broadband optics. Its main lasing lines include 457, 488, and 514 nm. Sufficient coherence length is achieved by means of an intracavity etalon. We report single-frequency operation at several competing wavelengths and the successful recording of multicolor holograms with the described laser system.

Experimental control of unstable patterns and elimination of spatiotemporal disorder in nonlinear optics

A method based on Fourier filtered control signals for stabilization of unstable patterns in a nonlinear optical single feedback system is experimentally realized. The successful stabilization of the homogeneous solution and different stationary periodic patterns far above the pattern forming threshold as well as the elimination of spatiotemporal disorder above a secondary instability has been achieved. The temporal evolution of the control signal verifies the underlying philosophy of noninvasive control that changes only the linear stability of the systems' solution and not the solution itself.

Dynamics of formation and interaction of photorefractive screening solitons.

An experimental and numerical investigation of the dynamical, time-dependent effects accompanying the formation and interaction of two-dimensional spatial screening solitons in a photorefractive strontium barium niobate crystal is performed. These effects include initial diffraction, collapse to the soliton shape, the oscillation of beam diameters, beam bending, and the rotation, twisting, and turning of soliton pairs. The dynamics of complex spiraling of two incoherent solitons is considered in more detail.
