Control of chaos in multimode solid state lasers by use of small periodic perturbations

Pere Colet, and Y. Braiman

Physical Review E, 53, 200-206 (1996).

We present a numerical study of control of chaos in a model of a multimode neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garner laser using periodic perturbations of accessible control parameters. We show that a small modulation of either the losses or the pump can eliminate chaos or make the system even more chaotic. Depending on the parameters of the perturbation, two qualitatively different periodic outputs can be achieved.
