Abstract
We have performed a topological analysis of a chaotic regime of a modu lated single-mode class-B laser model, at realistic parameter values. In contrast with previous numerical and experimental studies of this t ype of laser, we observe a topological structure which differs from th e one described by the paradigmatic horseshoe template. In view of thi s result, class-B lasers appear to be good candidates for the first cl ear characterization of a nonhorseshoe template in an experimental sys tem.
