      An evolution equation for nonlinear Schrödinger equations of the form \[ i {d\over dt} \psi= \Delta\psi +\varepsilon f \bigl(| \psi|^2 \bigr) \psi+ V(x,t) \psi \] is analyzed. Systems perturbed by an alternating electric field are studied. The homoclinic structure of the solutions to the system of equations derived by some transformations is shown. The existence of a chaotic motion for the perturbed system is deduced using the Melnikov method [\textit{V. K. Melnikov}, Trans. Moscow Math. Soc. 1963, 1-56 (1965), translation from Trudy Moskov. Mat. Obšč, 12, 3-52 (1963; Zbl 0135.31001)]. The chaotic behavior is identified using the maximal Lyapunov exponent. A horseshoe map is the underlying mechanism for the chaos.
