Abstract: 

Scenario of transition from stationary state to regime of generation with irregular pulsations of output optical power is explored. which can arise in a single—mode laser with active system of frequency siabilization. Particularities of transition to dynamic chaos mode are explored. depending оп such control parameters as a feedback gain factor, ratio of laser gain to loss. ratio оf homogeneous line widih to Doppler’s one. Possibility of chaotic behaviour arising in lasers with nonlinear—absorbin cell is shown. on the basis of which international standards of length аге realized.
