Area of Science:

  • Nonlinear dynamics
  • Wave propagation
  • Complex systems

Background:

  • Complex wave fields often follow the time-dependent complex Ginzburg-Landau equation.
  • Inferring the specific equation of evolution is crucial for understanding and predicting wave behavior.
  • Traditional methods may require interferometry or full field information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel formalism for inferring the equation of evolution for complex wave fields.
  • To determine the parameters of an unspecified time-dependent complex Ginzburg-Landau equation.
  • To enable equation inference using only the wave field's magnitude and noninterferometric phase retrieval.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a mathematical formalism for equation inference.
