A beat signal between longitudinal modes of the laser cavity is detected, amplified and fed back to an electro-optic element inserted in the laser cavity. In this case, if the gain of the beat amplifier is large, this element should have a large equivalent third order nonlinearity. Since this nonlinearity make the modes couple, many types of mode-looking phenomena are expected. In this paper, a theoretical analysis is presented and compared with experiments using a He-Ne 6328 Å laser.
