Phys. Rev. A 72, 043824 (2005) [4 pages]Experimental evidence of antiphase population dynamics in lasersReceived 1 April 2005; published 27 October 2005 We report a direct experimental observation of antiphase oscillations in population dynamics in lasers. We show that these population oscillations are intrinsically related to the well-known antiphase polarization dynamics, i.e., the antiphase oscillations of two orthogonal polarization laser field states. We have used a class B Nd:YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) laser. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
