Abstract
The results of experimental and theoretical studies on the oscillation dynamics of CO2 laser with ethanol and methanol vapours, used as satu rable absorbers in a cavity, are presented. A model of such a laser is proposed taking into account two longitudinal modes at frequency scan ning within the gain contour. A good agreement of the numerical calcul ations and the experimentally observed transient processes is observed including the change of the settled regular and chaotic oscillations regimes at Q-switching of the cavity.
