Optical chaos and hysteresis in a laser-diode pumped Nd doped fibre laser

Modulated pumping of a Nd<sup>3+</sup>doped silica monomode fibre laser has been investigated experimentally. For small modulation depths the laser exhibits a resonance at the relaxation oscillation frequency, providing pulses of a few microseconds duration at a repetition rate in the re...
