Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the dynamics and formation mechanisms of bound states (BSs) of light bullets in the output of a laser coupled to a distant saturable absorber. First we approximate the full three-dimensional set of Haus master equations by a reduced equation governing the dynamics of the transverse profile. This effective theory allows us to perform a detailed multiparameter bifurcation study and to identify the different mechanisms of instability of BSs. In addition, our analysis reveals a non-intuitive dependence of the stability region as a function of the linewidth enhancement factors and the field diffusion. Our results are confirmed by direct numerical simulations of the full system.
