Abstract:
We report on the experimental evidence of noise amplification in an erbium-doped fiber laser in the vicinity of saddle-node, period-doubling, and crisis bifurcations. We demonstrate this interesting phenomenon by analyzing the laser bifurcation diagrams and power spectra. Numerical simulations on the base of an advanced laser model display good agreement with the experimental results.
