Abstract
We report on the spontaneous onset of temporal chaos in a waveguide ${\mathrm{CO}}_{2}$ laser due to the interaction between two transverse modes. A nonstandard configuration of the resonator has been used in order to obtain multitransverse mode operation. Starting from a mirror setting where two modes have a stable coexistence, further tiny variations of the cavity length induce a period-doubling cascade to chaos.
