Polarization synchronization in quasi-isotropic CO2 lasers

Polarized optical feedback and noise effects on CO2laser polarization dynamics: spatial and temporal behavior

“…The theoretical background of this work [9,12] is based on the theory of the isotropic laser. Taking into consideration the CO 2 laser, the condition is more complicated (J ¼ 19 -J ¼ 20).…”

“…Recently, using a quasi-isotropic CO 2 laser, it has been shown that it is possible to stabilize the emission of one of the two polarization modes by using an optical feedback and commute the polarization by a fast switch in the feedback arm [11]. In [12] experimental evidence of the in-phase and out-of-phase synchronization of the polarization in two coupled quasi-isotropic CO 2 lasers is reported.…”

Polarization Coding in CO2 Lasers: Spatial and Temporal Behavior

“…Dynamical models have been developed to explore the role of the anisotropy due to the laser medium [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Recently, using quasi-isotropic class B lasers, it has been shown that it is possible to stabilize the emission on one of the two polarization modes by using an optical feedback and commute the polarization by a fast switch in the feedback arm [9][10][11].…”
