Ag. Vladimirov et Dy. Volkov, LOW-INTENSITY CHAOTIC OPERATIONS OF A LASER WITH A SATURABLE ABSORBER, Optics communications, 100(1-4), 1993, pp. 351-360
We study the dynamics of a laser with a saturable absorber for paramet
er values close to a multiple bifurcation point. We show that differen
t chaotic attractors exist in a small vicinity of the zero-intensity s
teady state near the laser threshold.
