Experimental studies of instabilities and chaos in single-mode, inhomogeneously broadened gas lasers
Abstract
Basic results on instabilities and chaos in unidirectional ring lasers are discussed. Further details revealed by heterodyne spectroscopy are then considered. Instabilities in standing-wave lasers are examined, and attention is given to field and intensity spectra and their correlation functions.
