Abstract
I have shown previously that the on-resonance steady states of tuned, single-mode, standing-wave gas lasers can be destabilized by frequency perturbations1 rather than amplitude perturbations2, and that the threshold of such instability coincides with a bifurcation to branches of frequency-pushed steady states. Above such thresholds, both intensity1 and frequency3 hysteresis, as functions of the cavity detuning, are expected.
