Abstract: The effect of the pump modulation on the lasing dynamics of a two-directional ring solid-state laser operating in the self-modulated regime is studied experimentally. The frequency locking was observed when the pump modulation frequency approached the self-modulation frequency. The dependence of the locking band on the laser characteristics and parameters of an external signal is studied. The frequency locking exhibits hysteresis.
