Abstract

Vectorial Karhunen-Loeve modes were used for the description of the polarization transverse pattern dynamics of the Zeeman multitransverse mode layer with large Fresnel number and anisotropic cavity. Stokes parameter distribution of the laser field in the transverse plane define new 2D vector field. Catastrophe theory and Newton diagram method were used for the classification of the laser field based on the characterization of the 2D vector field behavior in the vicinity of its singular points in the transverse plane. The results of numerical experiments show that the regimes with rotating patterns are closely connected with A_n catastrophe functions of argument r equals (root)(x²+PLUy²), where x,y are the transverse coordinates. For the oscillating patterns the regimes can be classified using Newton diagrams which are also connected with corresponding polynomials.
