description

Abstract We report on types I and II intermittencies found in a cascade laser model. A continuous transition from one to another type of intermittency, which involves the coexistence of both types of laminar phases within the same time series, is found. Type II intermittency has special characteristics such as its origin at a frequency locked two-torus. When frequency unlocked this torus bifurcates to a three-torus, further giving rise to a type II intermittent like behaviour with new features during the laminar phases.
