Self-organization
What is the reason that an initially homogeneous system evolves spontaneously into a modulated, “structured” state? This intriguing question arises in many sciences, in nature as well as in the laboratory.

Talbot Effect
The Talbot-effect is a near field ‘self-imaging’ effect generic for certain wave equations like the paraxial wave equation and the Schrödinger equation. Any spatial modulation of period Λ of a plane carrier wave is reproduced after the Talbot-length $z_R= 2Λ^2/λ$.
