Experimental observation of oscillatory instabilities and chaos in a gain-modulated single-mode cw CO/sub 2/ laser

· Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
We report the first experimental observation to our knowledge of single-mode instabilities and chaos in a gain-modulated cw CO/sub 2/ laser. With the use of detuning as a control parameter, chaos in this system has been found to occur through an intermittent route. We have identified certain regions of detuning over which the normal emission of the laser breaks down giving rise to periodic, quasiperiodic, or chaotic behavior.
