Phys. Rev. E 56, 6589–6600 (1997)Intermittent and quasiperiodic behavior in a Zeeman laser model with large cavity anisotropyReceived 3 March 1997; revised 17 June 1997; published in the issue dated December 1997 The stability and dynamic behavior of a two-level, J=0↔J=1, Zeeman laser model is investigated in the limit of large cavity anisotropy. The stability of the steady-state solutions is governed by two different Hopf bifurcations, one affecting the polarization state of the laser light and the other affecting the intensity dynamics. Above these bifurcations the dynamic behavior exhibited by the model is extremely rich. It has been found that the routes to chaos almost always involve quasiperiodic as well as intermittent dynamics. When this quasiperiodic behavior is locked, type-I and -II intermittencies have been identified. When unlocked, the torus can destabilize through two different scenarios leading to chaos: a “quasiperiodic intermittency” or a cascade of period-doubling bifurcations. On-off intermittency has also been found. © 1997 The American Physical Society URL:
