Abstract
Recently, instabilities and chaos in a single-mode CO2 laser with a saturable absorber (LSA) have attracted much attention as a direct access to nonlinear dynamics, such as Shil'nikov chaos and Feigenbaum's period-doubling scenario [1,2]. Introduction of extra lasing modes may bring novel aspects into the laser dynamics and largely extend applicability of the LSA as a model of dynamical systems.
