Abstract

In this paper we report experimental evidence of two-peaked transient time statistics in a single mode CO2 laser and we show that this phenomenon is due to the population inversion fluctuations. The same statistical feature has been also observed in dye1 and semiconductor2 lasers. However, in the first case two-peaked passage time distributions arise from the coupling between two transverse modes, while in the second case they are induced by the correlation between two successive pulses.
