A Nonhorseshoe Template in a Chaotic Laser Model

We have performed a topological analysis of a chaotic regime of a modulated single-mode class-B laser model, at realistic parameter values. In contrast with previous numerical and experimental studies of this type of laser, we observe a topological structure which differs from the one described by the paradigmatic horseshoe template. In view of this result, class-B lasers appear to be good candidates for the first clear characterization of a nonhorseshoe template in an experimental system.
