Chaos in coherent two-photon processes in a ring cavity
Abstract
The output of a ring cavity containing a resonant medium undergoing two photon transitions is shown to become chaotic, after following a series of bifurcations involving 2 n cycles, as the strength of the driving field is increased. The chaotic regime is followed by a sequence of period doubling bifurcations in reverse order.
