Experimental control of chaos in a laser

Abstract
The chaotic behavior of a single-mode laser has been stabilized over different periodic orbits by a small modulation of a control parameter, at a frequency near one of the frequencies still evident above the broad continuum in the chaotic power spectrum. Criteria for selecting the perturbation frequency and evaluating the robustness of the stabilization are given. The main experimental features are reproduced by numerical simulations.
