Abstract
The nonlinear dynamics of a four-mirror Kerr-lens mode-locked laser is investigated. It is shown that the mode-locking regime contains the w indows of nonregular behavior. Theoretical predictions are confirmed b y numerical experiments based on the fluctuation model. (C) 1997 Optic al Society of America.
