RT Journal Article T1 Dynamic transition from modelike patterns to turbulentlike patterns in a broad-area Nd:YAG laser A1 Cabrera Granado, Eduardo A1 Melle Hernández, Sonia A1 Gómez Calderón, Óscar A1 Guerra Pérez, José Manuel AB We report the first experimental observation to our knowledge of a dynamic transition from modelike patterns to completely disordered patterns in a large-aspect-ratio Nd:YAG laser. Recordings of near-field patterns with an integration time as small as 1 ns allow us to follow the evolution of the transverse intensity profile along the output pulse of the laser.
