Abstract
Analytical approaches of the theory of chaos control in class B lasers are presented in the cases of continuous delayed feedback and of subharmonic modulation. They are compared with experimental findings on a CO 2 laser and a Nd-doped fiber laser with modulated loss and pump respectively. In both cases, analytical theory allows one to predict the shift of the first period-doubling bifurcations, Numerical simulations show that subharmonic modulation may induce shifts, crises and new attractors in a laser with modulated parameters and that its phase relative to the main modulation allows one to control the laser dynamics. These results agree well with the experimental observations on control of chaos in CO 2 and fiber lasers.
