Dynamics of two coupled chaotic multimode Nd:YAG lasers with intracavity frequency doubling crystal

چکیده
Abstract. The effect of coupling two chaotic Nd:YAG lasers with intracavity KTP crystal for frequency doubling is numerically studied for the case of the laser operating in three longitudinal modes. It is seen that the system goes from chaotic to periodic and then to steady state as the coupling constant is increased. The intensity time series and phase diagrams are drawn and the Lyapunov characteristic exponent is calculated to characterize the chaotic and periodic regions.

Dynamics and control of a multimode laser: Reduction of space-dependent rate equations to a low-dimensional system.
We suggest a quantitatively correct procedure for reducing the spatial degrees of freedom of the space-dependent rate equations of a multimode laser that describe the dynamics of the population inversion of the active medium and the mode intensities of the standing waves in the laser cavity. The key idea of that reduction is to take advantage of the small value of the parameter that defines the...
متن کاملEfficient GaAlAs diode-laser-pumped operation of Nd: YLF at 1.047 Mum with intracavity doubling to 523.6 nm.
The use of semiconductor diode lasers as pump sources for solid-state lasers was demonstrated as early as 1964.1 In the past few years the dramatic increase in output power of diode lasers 2 has made pumping of solid-state lasers practical. Recently it was shown that diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG lasers offer advantages over lamp-pumped lasers, including high efficiency3 and good frequency stabilit...

We demonstrate continuous-wave (cw), cw frequency-doubled, cw mode-locked and Q-switched mode-locked operation of multimode diode-pumped Cr:LiCAF lasers with record average powers. Up to 2.54 W of cw output is obtained around 805 nm at an absorbed pump power of 5.5 W. Using intracavity frequency doubling with a BBO crystal, 0.9 W are generated around 402 nm, corresponding to an optical-to-optic...
متن کاملMultimode Chaos in Two Coupled Chaotic Oscillators with Hard Nonlinearities
In this study, multimode chaos observed from two coupled chaotic oscillators with hard nonlinearities is investigated. At first, a simple chaotic oscillator with hard nonlinearities is realized. It is confirmed that in this chaotic oscillator the origin is always asymptotically stable and that the solution, which is excited by giving relatively large initial conditions, undergoes period-doublin...
