Abstract

In this paper, we present an original detection method using three fast detectors to monitor the spatio-temporal dynamics of a bimode CO ₂ laser with saturable absorber. We observe that the time dependent components of the modal amplitudes increase as the frequency degeneracy lift between the TEM ₀₁ and TEM ₁₀ modes is reduced. Just before locking the system undergoes a period-doubling cascade leading to chaos. We record the temporal evolution of the modal amplitudes and the optical phase difference between the two modes in the specific regimes within the period-doubling cascade. Numerical simulations are in good agreement with the experiments, in particular they confirm the existence of the period-doubling cascade.
