This volume contains the lectures and seminars presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Physics of New Laser Sources," the twelfth course of the Europhysics School of Quantum Electronics, held under the supervision of the Quantum Electronics Division of the European Physical Society. The Institute was held at Centro "I Cappuccini" San Miniato, Tuscany, July 11-21, 1984. The Europhysics School of Quantum Electronics was started in 1970 with the aim of providing instruction for young researchers and advanced students already engaged in the area of quantum electronics or for those...

The papers in this volume summarizes the state-of-the-art in the use of concepts of dynamical systems theory to study chaotic evolution and spatiotemporal complexity.The central results of dynamical systems theory have demonstrated that simple deterministic mathematical systems can produce highly disordered dynamical behaviour, suggesting that it might be possible to explain complex natural phenomena with relatively simple models. This proved to be far more difficult than had been initially anticipated. It is increasingly clear that the naive application of dynamical methods can readily...
