Abstract
Two lasers coupled via a common intracavity SF6 saturable absorber show a cooperative coupling effect, instead of the most common competitive coupling. The dynamics of the system is very rich and includes strong pulsing, which may localize the non-linear interaction in time. Two chaotic regimes are analyzed experimentally and numerically: a chaotic lag synchronization resulting from an almost continuous interaction and a transient chaos resulting from a pulsed interaction.
