Abstract

A theoretical investigation into the dynamics of Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) with multilevel resonant medium has been conducted. The origin conditions and characteristics of complex dynamic operating modes of FPI have been analyzed at constant intensity of the input light beam. The mechanisms of switching from regular intensity oscillations to the chaotic ones through the sequence of period-doubling bifurcations or multiple pass Shilnikov's attractor have been demonstrated.
