Nonlinear Optics Sandbox: AI-Powered Control of Complex Optical Systems
2025-01-17
WestonCB's Nonlinear Optics Sandbox is an interactive platform for studying controlled nonlinear dynamics through the simulation of coupled optical fields. The project uses a specific optical configuration—coupled fundamental/harmonic fields interacting with an adaptive medium—as an idealized model to explore how optimization processes can guide complex nonlinear systems towards desired states. It combines real-time visualization, GPU-accelerated physics simulation, and gradient-based optimization, offering a novel tool for researching nonlinear dynamics and the control of complex systems.
