Abstract
Based on the system of semi-classical equations analysis and the numerical experiment, the temporal nature of the standing wave laser generation has been studied. It is shown that such a laser is a dynamic system in which, along with the selforganization processes leading to regular continuous pulsings /1/, stochastization of the strange attractor type is possible /2/. This diversified behaviour is due to the competition and interrelation of factors accounting for the steadystate behaviour instability. These factors are the development of nutation oscillations due to the coherent properties of the active medium and interaction of counterruning waves on the gain and losses inhomogeneities in the cavity differing in physical nature.
