Abstract: The dynamic behavior of a CW CO2 ring laser with injected signal is analyzed in a preliminary experiment as a function of detuning and injection amplitude. It is shown that for constant injected intensity, self pulsations occur in the neighborhood of the locking edge. Two distinct characteristic frequencies, associated with self pulsation and relaxation, govern the complex dynamic evolution of the system as the locking edge detuning is approached.
