Abstract

A NdP₅O₁₄ laser at 1.325-μm wavelength pumped by an Ar⁺ laser whose intensity is periodically modulated at a rate comparable with the relaxation-oscillation frequency of the NdP₅O₁₄ laser shows a period-doubling sequence, chaotic emission, and windows of regular pulsing within the chaotic region.
