“…Similar behaviour is found when the y mode is excited instead of the x mode. Such a behaviour is typical for the whole modulation bandwidth except for the domain in the neighbourhood of the polarization relaxation frequency [10] of the laser system, ∼ R = 2ω P ≈ 2ϕ. It is also found that it is weakly affected by the magnitude of ϕ.…”

“…In addition, an inherent feature of such lasers is the presence of the relaxation oscillations of the field polarization [10], that is not the case for scalar class A lasers. Usually, modulation of such lasers is accomplished by acting on the pumping parameter or resonator length.…”

In this work we consider polarization dynamics of a class A vector laser subject to new kind of vector modulation which drives the eigenmode ellipticity. Such a modulation can be accomplished by an intracavity device consisting of two crossed quarterwave plates with Faraday element between them. It is found that sinusoidal modulation of the eigenmode ellipticity is directly transferred to the polarization parameters of the emitted field only at small amplitude of modulation. Among interesting features in the laser dynamic behaviour we report on resonant and quasiperiodic behaviours in the vicinity of the polarization relaxation frequency.
