We experimentally studied dynamics of a dual-cavity Nd:YAG laser with second harmonic generation in one of the cavities and loss modulation in another cavity. Dependent on the frequency of harmonic modulation of the infrared light, we observed the coexistence of different correlated and uncorrelated regimes of the infrared and green outputs from two laser cavities. We present the experimental evidence of oscillation death coexistent with oscillatory states for certain modulation frequencies.
