Chaotic lasing regimes were observed for a CO2 laser with small-amplit
ude modulation of pumping when the modulation frequency was twice the
frequency of relaxation oscillations. The period-doubling limits deter
mined experimentally were in agreement with calculations. The asymmetr
y of the doubling windows relative to the central transition frequency
was accounted for.
