Oscillating and rotating states for laser solitons

The scenario for stability loss of laser solitons is analyzed. The process of radial symmetry breaking and bistability between symmetrical and rotating solitons is demonstrated. New, rotating and oscillating soliton state is founded. The consequent period-doubling of symmetrical oscillations is found as a route to chaotic behavior.
