Abstract

We review techniques for the analysis of spatial and temporal instabilities in laser devices. The spatial problem and the temporal problem are first considered in isolation. We then proceed to study their interaction, which requires the development of a novel approach based on the Hopf bifurcation theory. This analysis highlights a number of controllable instabilities effects that can be exploited in optical switching and logic applications.
