Abstract

Lasers with a saturable absorber (LSA) are known as systems with rich dynamics. Many kinds of instabilities and dynamical behavior have been found in them both experimentally and theoretically. Phase dynamics and new peculiarities in behavior due to detunings between frequency of light w and resonant frequencies of an active medium w_a, absorber w_b, cavity w_c attract attention at last time. For a single mode LSA, for example, possible steady states have been considered [1] and some interesting dynamical regimes have been described for computer experiment.
