Abstract
The chaotic behavior of a single-mode laser has been stabilized over d ifferent periodic orbits by a small modulation of a control parameter, at a frequency near one of the frequencies still evident above the br oad continuum in the chaotic power spectrum. Criteria for selecting th e perturbation frequency and evaluating the robustness of the stabiliz ation are given. The main experimental features are reproduced by nume rical simulations.
