Abstract
We have experimentally observed chaotic oscillation of outputs in a diode-pumped Nd:YAG microchip laser array with an external Talbot mirror. The oscillation of chaotic output is observed at frequencies of sub MHz corresponding to the relaxation oscillation frequencies when the Talbot mirror is slightly tilted from the perfect alignment position with the internal cavity. Chaotic intermittent bursts also appear at frequencies of sub kHz due to longitudinal mode hopping. Synchronization of chaos is observed at these two different time scales. The generation of chaotic oscillations at sub MHz is confirmed by using numerical simulations. It is found that synchronized chaotic oscillations can be observed in the vicinity of the boundary of the injection locking range.
