Descripción
Sumario:Kerr lens mode locked Ti:Sapphire lasers can operate in at least two pulsed modes. Several models were developed with the aim to describe the characteristics of these modes. Those based on iterative maps, can reproduce the structurally stable properties of each mode but are unable to describe the interaction between modes. In this paper, we present a numerical simulation based on a complete map equation that makes possible to accurately describe the bistability experimentally observed in the laser. With the numerical time series we determine that the bistable behavior corresponds to low dimensional deterministic chaos and calculate that the embedding dimension of the attractor is three.
