Abstract
We have characterized the topological organization of chaotic regimes of a modulated Nd:YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) laser using template a nalysis. This investigation revealed a topological structure not previ ously observed in an experimental system nor in numerical simulations of models of this laser to our knowledge. This structure corresponds t o the so-called reverse horseshoe theoretically described by Gilmore a nd McCallum.
