Abstract

The dynamics of a solid-state laser sustaining the oscillation of the Laguerre-Gaussian TEM mode is experimentally studied. The results are given of investigations of the existence conditions of self- modulation, chaotic, frequency locking, and self-pulsing regimes. From the observations of the locking phenomena of the first order family occurs as a subcritical bifurcation in a solid-state laser.
