Stability analysis of detuned Gaussian modes in lasers and optically bistable systems

OSTI ID:6546464
Using analytic and numerical methods, we analyze the stability of steady-state Gaussian modes of a system consisting of a detuned laser cavity filled with homogeneously broadened two-level atoms. In the mean field limit and high-Q cavity approximation, we derive expressions for the free-running laser (FRL) eigenvalues, and determine the region of instability; for an optically bistable system (OBS) we obtain the equation satisfied by the eigenvalues and the conditions for optical bistability.
