Abstract
Temporal evolution of the laser electric field at any point of the tra nsverse plane of a bimode CO2 laser is reconstructed using three fast detectors located at different points in the transverse plane. We inve stigated a situation in which the dynamics is particularly rich i.e. d isplaying different periodic and chaotic regimes. A comparison between numerical analysis and experiments allows us to perform a critical ev aluation of the method.
