Pattern formation and competition occur in a nonlinear extended medium if dissipation
allows for attracting sets, independently of initial and boundary conditions. This intrinsic …

As recognized almost immediately following the design of the first laser [1, 2], lasers are
dynamical systems capable of exhibiting a wide variety of nonlinear dynamics. For many …

Bridging the gap between laser physics and applied mathematics, this book offers a new
perspective on laser dynamics. Combining fresh treatments of classic problems with up-to …

The dynamical response of a laser to frequency-shifted optical feedback is investigated both
theoretically and experimentally. The ultrahigh sensitivity of a class-B laser (ie, a laser with a …

In this paper we report studies on the dynamical behaviors of erbium-doped fiber lasers with
one polarized mode. The chaotic behaviors, as well as the coexistent scenario of the period …

We investigate the dynamics of a high power unidirectional Yb-doped fiber ring laser with an
intracavity polarizer placed between two halfwave plates. We show that, depending on the …

The temporal dynamics of an erbium-doped fiber laser shows various interesting modes of
behavior. In the stationary regime, a behavior going from a cw working mode to deterministic …

The dynamics of a unidirectional erbium-doped fiber laser is investigated on a time scale
short enough to observe, with good resolution, its behavior for individual round-trips in the …

We demonstrate the possibility of stabilizing unstable stationary states (unstable focus) in an
experiment by applying feedback on a control parameter. The technique also allows the …

A detailed analysis of a general model of erbium-doped fiber laser dynamics is investigated.
Depending upon the parameters the same model describes single-mode cw or self-pulsing …
