Abstract: We show the existence of self-pulsing at two characteristic frequencies in a single mode co2 laser for low pump rates. the dynamical behavior of the system as a function of the pump rate, cavity losses and detuning between atomic and cavity frequencies has been investigated. These results can be explained by a recently developed theoretical model which incorporates intensity dependent parameters.
