Abstract

Bifurcation and chaotic lasing regimes have been observed for the first time ever in a system of optically coupled CO₂ lasers. The regions of stable laser mode locking are determined analytically and numerically. The dynamic regimes in the absence of mode locking are calculated. Agreement between experimental and numerical results is obtained.
