Abstract

We observe the route from laser-off to laser-on in a CO₂ laser. On the route, on-off intermittency appears, which is caused by discharge instability near the laser threshold. By analyzing the probability distribution of a laminar phase near the onset of the intermittency, we confirm that what we have observed is on-off intermittency. We reproduce the intermittency through a numerical simulation of the laser rate equations.
