Abstract
We study the steady states of a solid-state laser containing a birefri ngent frequency-doubling crystal such as a YAG-KTP laser and assess th eir stability in a systematic way. We show that as the pump power is i ncreased, different scenarios arise: Hopf bifurcation to antiphased pe riodic regimes, mode hopping between different cw states, and finally breakup of the multimode states for a single- or two-mode cw regime in volving homoclinic points.
