Spontaneous Pattern Formation Due to Modulation Instability of Incoherent White Light in a Photopolymerizable Medium.

Spontaneous pattern formation due to modulation instability was observed in a broad uniform beam of incoherent white light propagating in an optically isotropic, photopolymerizable organosiloxane. Pattern formation originates from intensity-dependent refractive index changes due to polymerization, w...
