Abstract
Considering the slippage and the cavity detuning, we have investigated the bifurcation and the chaotic transitions in a FEL oscillator. In d escribing the nonlinear dissipative dynamics of the FEL oscillator, we have used the properly defined branching parameters, which are closel y related to the physical parameters. Throughout this study, we have f ound three well-known chaotic transition routes via period-doubling ca scade, intermittency, and quasiperiodicity, which are confirmed by the qualitative and quantitative analyses.
