The effects of transverse distribution of light field on CO2 laser instabilities are studied by means of light feedback. The phenomena of pulsing frequency shift and chaos in CO2 laser caused by light feedback are observed experimentally. The mechanism of laser instabilities resulting from the transverse distribution is discussed.
