Application of Shannon's entropy to classify emergent behaviors in a simulation of laser dynamics

Laser dynamics simulations have been carried out using a cellular automata model. The Shannon's entropy has been used to study the different emergent behaviors exhibited by the system, mainly the laser spiking and the laser constant operation. lt is also shown that the Shannon's entropy of...

Descripción
Sumario:Laser dynamics simulations have been carried out using a cellular automata model. The Shannon's entropy has been used to study the different emergent behaviors exhibited by the system, mainly the laser spiking and the laser constant operation. lt is also shown that the Shannon's entropy of the distribution of the populations of photons and electrons reproduces the laser stability curve, in agreement with the theoretical predictions from the laser rate equations and with the experimental results.
