摘要
The two-mode rate equations for a laser in a Fabry-Perot cavity are studied, taking into account the dynamics of spatial hole-burning. We prove analytically that each mode intensity has a transient behavior characterized by two damped oscillation frequencies, while the total intensity displays a domain where only the largest oscillation frequency remains; this domain appears to display antiphase dynamics. These results are generalized to N lasing modes. We then analyze the response of the two-mode laser to a periodic pump modulation. For small modulation depth, the two oscillation frequencies are clearly displayed as resonances on the response curve. For deeper modulation depth, the beating of the modulation frequency and the largest internal oscillation frequency produces a subharmonic sequence to chaos. This chaotic domain disappears in a crisis when it collides with the branch of stable periodic oscillations associated with the smaller oscillation frequency which coexists with the subharmonic cascade.
