Simple mathematical models have been unable to predict the conditions leading to
instabilities in a tunable ring laser. Here we propose a nonlinear iterative map model for …

A homogeneously broadened unidirectional ring laser can emit in several longitudinal
modes for large enough pump and cavity length because of Rabi splitting induced gain. This …

We provide a comprehensive analysis of the standard model of the bidirectional ring laser in
which only one mode can be supported in each direction and in the limit that the polarization …

Abstract We analyze the Maxwell-Block equations for a unidirectional ring laser after
inclusion of transverse effects. We prove that, in the uniform field limit, the steady state of the …

We investigate the dynamics of longitudinal modes in quantum-well semiconductor ring
lasers by means of a spatiotemporal traveling-wave model. We report the existence of a …

We study analytically the influence of detuning on the properties of a homogeneously
broadened single mode ring laser. In the good cavity domain the stationary output is stable …

We show experimentally that the cavity resonances for transverse modes of a ring laser
depend on the number of mirrors closing the optical cavity. Thus the dynamical behavior …

We have conducted careful measurements of the changes in the output of a single-mode,
inhomogeneously-broadened, unidirectional ring laser as the excitation and cavity detuning …

We report on directional mode switching in semiconductor ring lasers through optical
injection co-propagating with the lasing mode. The understanding of this novel feature in …

We study the stability of steady state solutions of a resonantly tuned bidirectional
homogeneously broadened ring laser retaining the complete longitudinal spatial …
