ITMO’s Researchers for Nature: How Does New Ultra-Compact Laser Work?
…h peculiarity appearing when solving specific equations. However later it was proved that this phenomenon is much closer to real life — thanks to resonance theory, scientists discovered that one can meet such states in various wave processes like sound waves and surface water waves. In the article Mikhail Rybin and Yuri Kivshar, head of the Nonlinear Physics Centr…
