PINTO ROBLEDO, V.J. et al. Experimental study of the dynamics of a diode-pumped Nd: YVO₄ laser under periodic modulation of losses. Rev. mex. fís. E [online]. 2012, vol.58, n.2, pp.150-155. ISSN 1870-3542.

With the aim of developing experiments for teaching dynamics of complex systems and stabilization methods in lasers, we study the dynamics of a diode-pumped Nd:YVO₄ laser under periodic loss modulation produced with an acousto-optic modulator and a function generator. Our goal is stabilization of the laser oscillations in a chosen dynamical state. The results obtained with the rate-equation model for different modulation schemes are in a good agreement with the experiments.
