G. Huyet et al., REGARDING STANDING VERSUS TRAVELING WAVES IN THE TRANSVERSE SPATIAL PATTERNS OF HOMOGENEOUSLY AND INHOMOGENEOUSLY BROADENED LASERS, Optics communications, 111(5-6), 1994, pp. 488-492
It is shown that the first bifurcations leading to a breaking of the c
ylindrical symmetry of transverse patterns are relatively insensitive
to whether the medium is homogeneously or inhomogeneously broadened.
