Bifurcations Qualitative changes in the dynamics are called bifurcations, The parameter values at which they occur are called bifurcation points. Bifurcations are important scientifically-they provide models of transitions and instabilities as some control parameter is varied.
Saddle-Node Bifurcation Fixed-Points are created and destroyed

Transcritical Bifurcation At least one fixed-point always exists It may change its stability with change in parameter

Laser Threshold Solid-State Laser Each Atom is a tiny radiating antenna Below threshold – random phases After threshold – in-phase oscillations
Laser Threshold Number of photons – n(t) Gain is due to stimulated emission G > 0 – Gain coefficent N(t) – Number of excited atoms K>0 – rate constant that is reciprocal of typical lifetime of a photon in laser
Laser Threshold N decreases by emission of photons Thus
