Аннотация:Noise driven relaxation oscillations of a solid-state ring laser undergoing stable dynamical periodic pulsation are investigated for the first time. Formulas for the relaxation oscillation frequencies in the presence of frequency nonreciprocity are derived. It is shown that, in the case of symmetric backscattering, the self-modulation regime is characterized by damped relaxation oscillations. The conditions are found for which the relaxation oscillation frequencies are nondegenerate over the whole range in which the frequency nonreciprocity can be varied. The dependence of the relaxation oscillation frequencies on parameters of the sinusoidally alternating bidirectional ring laser is substantially different from the corresponding dependence for unidirectional operation.
