Features of nonlinear dynamics of solid-state ring lasers in quasi-periodic and chaotic oscillation regimes in a magnetic field are studied experimentally. Windows of periodic and quasi-periodic regimes within the region of dynamic chaos in a monolithic ring laser with periodically modulated pumping are observed experimentally for the first time. It is shown that an applied magnetic field changes the boundaries of the existence of various nonstationary regimes. It is established that, under certain conditions, lasing regimes can be switched in magnetic fields with strengths of {approx}1 Oe. (active media. lasers)
