Abstract
Period-doubling bifurcations into a chaotic state are found in a quantum statistical model of multiphoton excitation of a molecule when the laser field is modulated sinusoidally. This chaotic state characterizes a strange attractor coexisting with a periodic one. Interesting dynamical behavior associated with these attractors is described and practical implications of this molecular property discussed.
