Statistical Formulation of Nonlinear Optics for Describing the Propagation of Partially Coherent, High Power Laser Beams

Abstract

OUSD LUCI Program Review. 1. Mentored multiple students, outreach to optics community, and worked to fill expertise gap at NRL. 2. Learned that homogenous super-Gaussian coherence functions are impossible. 3. Developed visualization for complex fields. 4. Used genetic algorithm to generate partially coherent beams. 5. Developed adaptive, symmetric split-step laser propagation code. 6. Observed that hot spots from non-uniform coherence functions are maintained in Kerr medium. 7. Observed features of optical wave chaos in carbon disulfide.
