Homoclinic orbits and cycles in the instabilities of a laser with a saturable absorber
Journal Article

· Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
The phase-space evolution for the instabilities in a CO/sub 2/ laser with an intracavity saturable absorber is investigated experimentally. The different scenarios corresponding to limit cycles, homoclinic orbits and cycles involving two unstable points, and chaotic behavior are investigated. A theoretical analysis of the experimental results is sketched out.
