Area of Science:

  • Nonlinear Optics
  • Quantum Optics
  • Laser Physics

Background:

  • Dissipative dynamical systems exhibit complex behaviors, including bifurcations and transitions in oscillatory dynamics.
  • Mode-locked lasers are crucial for generating ultrashort optical pulses, with their dynamics influenced by intracavity elements.
  • Frequency modulation can significantly alter the stability and evolution of optical pulses within a laser cavity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To theoretically investigate the phenomenon of wave packet splitting in a dissipative Schrödinger-like system.
  • To model the transition from single-pulse to two-pulse dynamics in an amplitude-modulated mode-locked laser.
  • To analyze the onset of two-mode oscillatory dynamics induced by intracavity frequency modulation.

Main Methods:
