Abstract
Chaotic regimes have been observed experimentally in a CO2 laser with modulated losses and in a CO2 laser containing a saturable absorber. This chaos is a purely deterministic phenomenon and the transition from periodic to chaotic regimes follows well-known scenarios : the Feigenbaum cascade or Shilnikov-type chaos. Simple rate equation models provide a good description of most chaotic phenomena encountered in these CO2 laser systemsKeywords
