[AMO/general] Speckle Instability: Coherent Effects in Nonlinear Disordered Media

PRL 104, 133901 (2010)
We numerically investigate the properties of speckle patterns formed by nonlinear point scatterers. We show that, in the weak localization regime, dynamical instability appears, eventually leading to chaotic behavior of the system.
