Chaotic Oscillation in a Microchip Solid-State Laser Array using a Talbot Mirror

摘要

We have experimentally observed chaotic oscil- lation of outputs in a diode-pumped Nd: YAG microchip laser array with an external Talbot mirror. The oscillation of chaotic output is observed at frequencies of sub MHz corresponding to the relaxation oscillation frequencies when the Talbot mirror is slightly tilted from the perfect alignment position with the inter- nal cavity.
