Abstract
Coupled-cavity modelocking, a.k.a. additive-pulse modelocking, provides a useful means of creating ultrashort pulses. However, a system of two-coupled nonlinear resonators can give rise to complicated nonlinear processes. For example, period doubling sequences, quasi-periodic behavior, and high-dimensional chaos have been observed from additive-pulse mode-locked lasers.1,2
