A three-mode laser model is sufficient to demonstrate the occurrence of intrinsic FM locking in semiconductor lasers but, in order, for example, to calculate the depth of FM modulation in the self-locked state a multimode model is required. In the present work the model of [1] has been extended to take more than three modes into account.","PeriodicalId":441335,"journal":{"name":"Nonlinear Dynamics in Optical Systems","volume":"37 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":"132012462","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}

Theoretical investigations of such behavior in LSA with CO2 amplifying medium has been carried out on the basis of three level : two level rate equation model [1]. In order to improve the agreement between the model and experimental observations the extension of the model including the polarization of molecular absorber has been proposed in Ref.[2]. It has been shown in [2] that a new types of chaotic regimes arise due to the time lag between the polarization and field. Here we show that these chaotic regimes are associated with a codimension- four bifurcation point.
