Abstract

The chaotic characteristics of laser operation near threshold are investigated in a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. In the threshold region of laser operation, the laser off-states are intermittently interrupted by chaotic laser pulsations of laser on-states. Through a scaling analysis of laminar phases, we verify that the phenomenon is on-off intermittency.
