Cavity solitons in a VCSEL: reconfigurable micropixel arrays

Description

For quite a few years, scientific and technological advances have made commonplace the possibility of encoding information in the modulation of light beams. Several techniques have been investigated to optimise such methods in the temporal domain or in its dual counterpart, i.e. in the radiation spectrum, with a procedure similar to encoding information in our voice. On the other side, encoding information in space is an everyday task we accomplish, with a wealth of technical means, when we "write". It all amounts to getting control of a homogeneous support, and breaking its translational symmetry with suitable procedures and tools (e.g. a pen on a sheet of paper, a photographic impression on a photosensitive surface)....
