Abstract: The stochastic excitation of a subharmonic of a periodic modulation signal in the intensity spectrum of a solid-state laser is experimentally studied upon modulation of the pump rate by the noise and periodic signal. The stochastic resonance (SR) is observed in the presence of bistability in the laser. The conditions for SR at a subharmonic of the periodic modulation signal are determined.

Keywords: ring laser, nonlinear dynamics, stochastic resonance, relaxation frequency, noise modulation, subharmonic of a periodic modulation signal.
