In the field of photonics, optical chaos is chaos generated by laser instabilities using different schemes in semiconductor and fiber lasers.
One of the most common examples is an optical ring resonator.
[citation needed] 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.
