Abstract

Summary form only given. Experimental and theoretical studies of intensity and phase dynamics of spatially coupled lasers have produced interesting results. The investigation of these particular nonlinear oscillators in various well-controlled spatial arrangements gives closer insight into the relations between symmetry and dynamics. The experimental systems we consider consist of two or three coupled lasers in one semi-monolithic Nd:YVO/sub 4/ microchip resonator, generated by pump beams delivered through a 2D arrangement of single-mode optical fibers.
