Introduction to the analysis of the bifurcation phenomena in an optical waveguide with statistic irregularities
The theoretical principles of a new method of a research of irregular multimode optical waveguides as nonlinear dynamic dissipative systems are presented. The scattering of a guided mode is considered as process of gradual transition of some dynamic dissipative system from an “ordered” state in a state of “chaos”. The growth of losses on scattering in an irregular integrated-optical waveguide is considered as increase of chaos in a system. As a managing parameter of process the factor of phase slowing down of a waveguide is used.
