The formation of steady-state pulses in solid-state lasers with passive mode locking is investigated under conditions when the refractive index is frequency dispersive and nonlinear. The case of a noninertial absorber is considered as well as that of an inertial one. It is shown that when the nonlinearity of the refractive index exceeds a certain critical level phase modulation of the pulse leads to instability of the steady-state regime. The possibility is discussed of forming extremely short pulses in wide-band amplifying media such as alexandrite.
