Other articles in this issue | Correlation method for measuring the largest Lyapunov exponent in optical fields
Order this article Gavrylyak M.S., Maksimyak A.P. and Maksimyak P.P. We propose an analog interference method for measuring the largest Lyapunov exponent for the optical fields generated by scattering objects and media. The method is further developed to make a device for high-speed real-time measurements of transverse correlation function of the optical fields. Keywords: space-time chaos, the largest Lyapunov exponent, transverse correlation function, nematic liquid crystal, interference method. PACS: 42.25.Hz, 42.25.Fx
