Abstract
The transition from quasiperiodicity to chaos in an NMR laser with delayed feedback is investigated both experimentally and numerically. We concentrate on the low-delay-time region where stable tori arise either from a sequence of two Hopf bifurcations or from an ‘‘interaction’’ between mutually transversal unstable limit cycles. Transitions to chaos via intermittency and crises have been observed, as well as the ‘‘fractalization’’ of tori.
