Abstract

We demonstrate that the optical parametric oscillator is an ideal system for studying spatial pattern formation and quantum effects in spatial structures. In the first part of the article we analyze a semiclassical model which includes diffraction in the paraxial approximation, and we show the formation of rolls, zig-zag patterns, dislocations, filamentation and optical chaos. In the second part of the paper we describe the spatial structure of the squeezed vacuum state emitted by the optical parametric oscillator below the threshold for signal generation.
