Abstract

We transform the semi-classical laser equation for single mode homogeneously broadened lasers to a one-dimensional nonlinear map by using the discrete dynamical approach. The obtained mapping, referred to as laser logistic mapping (LLM), characteristically exhibits convergent, cyclic and chaotic behavior depending on the control parameter. Thus, the so obtained LLM explains stable, bistable, multi-stable, and chaotic solutions for output field intensity. The onset of bistability takes place at a critical value of the effective gain coefficient. The obtained analytical results are confirmed through numerical calculations.
