Abstract
The nonlinear laser theory without noise is applied to calculate amplitudes, frequencies and beat frequencies of two circularly polarized modes in a laser with axial magnetic field. The resonator is allowed to have different damping constants for waves polarized inx- andy-direction. For small beat frequencies frequency locking occurs, and the modes combine to a linearly or elliptically polarized mode. The plane of polarization rotates with increasing magnetic field up to ± π/4.
