The self-pulsing instability in inhomogeneously broadened unidirectional traveling-wave single-mode lasers is discussed in detail. The analytic linear stability analysis of the stationary solutions shows that in the case of a good-cavity limit and large inhomogeneous linewidth no self-pulsing instability occurs. On the other hand, in the case of a bad-cavity limit, there are two instabilities. At the same time, in the intermediate-cavity case there also exist two self-pulsing instabilities; one corresponds to a lower threshold value, and the other to a higher one.
