Optical Chaos is chaos generated by laser instabilities using different schemes in semiconductor and fiber lasers. Optical Chaos is observed in many non-linear optical systems. One of the most common examples is a ring resonator.
One of the most seminal works is published by Ikeda (Physical Review Letters, 1982) where chaotic behavior in a ring resonator was proposed and experiementally confirmed.
Optical Chaos was an exciting field of research in mid-1980s and was expected at that time to lead to production of All optical devices including All optical computers. Researchers realised later the inherent limitation of the optical systems due to the nonlocalised nature of photons compared to highly localised nature of electrons.
Research in Optical Chaos has seen a recent resurgence in the context of studying synchronization phenomena, and in developing techniques for secure optical communications.

Famous quotes containing the words chaos in, systems, chaos and/or optical:
“She kisses her killed boy.
And she is sorry.
Chaos in windy grays
through a red prairie.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Every passion borders on the chaotic, but the collector’s passion borders on the chaos of memories.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“The convent, which belongs to the West as it does to the East, to antiquity as it does to the present time, to Buddhism and Muhammadanism as it does to Christianity, is one of the optical devices whereby man gains a glimpse of infinity.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
