Relaxation and polarization oscillations in a wide-aperture bistable laser with a saturable absorber
Sergey V. Fedorov, Nikolay N. Rosanov, Nikolay A. Veretenov
The regions of stability of homogeneous generation regimes in a wide-aperture laser with a saturable absorber, including a semiconductor laser with a vertical output of radiation, are determined depending on the relative relaxation rate of carriers in active and passive media and on the frequency detunings of working transitions in these media with a resonant frequency of radiation, taking into account its polarization state. The excitation thresholds for relaxation and polarization oscillations are determined within the four-level model. Keywords: wide-aperture laser, saturable absorber, relaxation and polarization oscillations
