Shilnikov instabilities in laser systems

Experiments on a CO/sub 2/ laser with feedback (F. T. Arecchi, R. Meucci, and W. Gadomski, Phys. Rev. Lett. 58, 2205 (1987)) displayed an extraordinary set of instabilities, identified as Shilnikov chaos. We have investigated the stability structure of a theoretical model developed to describe this laser system and carried out an extensive numerical search for the Shilnikov instability. No computational evidence to support the claim of a Shilnikov instability for model parameters corresponding to the experimental region can be found.
