Abstract
Transverse outputs of an optical resonator are predicted to undergo transitions to turbulence via three well-established scenarios. The instabilities are induced by self-focusing nonlinearities. A bifurcation involving period doubling of invariant circles in a parameter region where attractors coexist is identified.
