Title: Space inhomogeneity and detuning effects in a laser with a saturable absorber: a first-order approximation

Journal Article · · J. Opt. Soc. Am. B: Opt. Phys.; (United States)

To a first approximation the effects of detuning and/or space inhomogeneity on the stability domain of a model for a laser with a saturable absorber are presented. It appears that the space dependence increases the domain of the emissionless state, thus delaying the laser action.
