We are able to track the splitting of the optical spectrum as the laser makes a transition from stable cw operation to pulsed operation by heterodyning the laser output with a stabilized reference laser. For a resonantly tuned cavity, we see that with increasing excitation the laser makes an abrupt transition from a single optical carrier wave to two equally strong components in the optical spectrum. The splitting between these two components increases with increasing excitation above the instability threshold.","PeriodicalId":262701,"journal":{"name":"International Meeting on Instabilities and Dynamics of Lasers and Nonlinear Optical Systems","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127391347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model is given by a set of three Langevin-type equations for the real and the imaginary part of the slowly-varying electric field, and for the material variable. In the white noise limit, it is equivalent to a Fokker-Planck equation in three variables. Even if our model can describe also a Kerr medium or a two-level system in a suitable range of parameters, we are mainly interested in the case of miniaturized all–optical bistable devices which utilize semiconductor dispersive media. In this situation, we can adiabatically eliminate the field variables and therefore reduce the problem to a single stochastic differential equation in one variable, which contains several terms of additive and multiplicative noise. We find that noise in the imaginary part of the slowly varying electric field does not contribute to this equation. In the white, -noise case, our stochastic equation is equivalent to a Fokker-Planck equation in one variable, whereas in the case of colored noise we obtain a onedimensional Fokker-Planck equation only in the limit of short correlation times.","PeriodicalId":262701,"journal":{"name":"International Meeting on Instabilities and Dynamics of Lasers and Nonlinear Optical Systems","volume":"41 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131992409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
