The transition to chaos is ubiquitous in nonlinear systems ranging from fluid dynamics and superconducting circuits biological organisms. Optical driven out of equilibrium such as lasers supercontinuum generation exhibit chaotic states light with fluctuations both amplitude phase can give rise Levy statistics, turbulence rogue waves. Spatiotemporal also occurs continuous-wave-driven photonic-ch...

Laser ranging is an indispensable independent tool for validating the precise orbits determined for GNSS satellites using microwave pseudorange observations since decades. SLR allowed it to identify orbit modeling issues. Including albedo radiation pressure and antenna thrust, among others, into the GPS orbit model allowed it to basically eliminate the observed SLR bias. For the first Galileo s...
