Measurements of intensity fluctuations in a laser with a saturable absorber
- 1. Department of Physics, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701 (United States)
Description
Fluctuations of light intensity in a laser with an intracavity nonlinear absorber are studied experimentally. Measurements are made close to the tricritical point by varying the operating parameters of the laser. Experimental results are in agreement with the theoretical predictions based on the nonlinear oscillator model of the laser in which both the third- and fifth-order nonlinearities in the field amplitude are retained
