Self-induced chaos in a single-mode inversionless laser.
A single-mode inversionless laser with a three-level phaseonium as an active medium can by itself exhibit complex nonlinear dynamics. Nonlinear interaction between two spectrally separated gain regions of the phaseonium and a lasing field gives rise to instabilities and chaotic self-pulsations of a type not observed in conventional lasers with population-inverted gain media. We calculate the bifurcation diagram and uncover multistability and a torus-doubling cascade in transition to chaos.
