description

Abstract We show that the differences of the intensity spiral dynamics of an optically pumped NH 3 ring laser from that of the Lorenz model are caused by counterpropagating emission and by three-level coherence effects. In particular we find that under appropriate conditions the differences disappear and the laser emits purely according to the Lorenz model.
