Quantum discord, an appropriate measure of quantum correlation, is analyzed in a two-mode Gaussian state of the cavity field evolved by a system of quantum beat laser. In the laser system, two arbitrary single-mode Gaussian states of the cavity fields and an external classical field couple to the atomic lasing medium. We calculate the time-dependent expression for the quantum discord both analytically and numerically, by following the reduced density matrix equation of the resulting cavity field. In this framework, we investigate the generation and control of Gaussian quantum discord in the two-mode Gaussian state of the cavity field at the output in terms of the purity and non-classicality of the two input cavity modes, the Rabi frequency of the classical driving field, the relative phase of the coupling parameters, and the damping rates of the cavity modes. The behaviour of quantum discord appears oscillatory due to the quantum beats in the output cavity field developed by the classical driving field in the medium as time passes. Moreover, we find that quantum discord switches on and off while adjusting the relative phase of the coupling parameters. Analysis of the analytical results agrees well with our numerical simulations.
