Abstract
We study a rate-equation model for two coupled molecular lasers with a saturable absorber. A numerical bifurcation study shows the existence of isolas for in-phase periodic solutions as physical parameters change. In addition there are other non-isola families of in-phase, anti-phase and intermediate-phase periodic oscillations. In this model the unstable periodic orbits belonging to the in-phase isolas constitute a skeleton of the attractor, when chaotic synchronization sets in for a set of physically relevant control parameters.
