Abstract

We discuss a simple rate equation laser model, containing intensity-dependent parameters. Our calculations suggest that the model is consistent with the emergence of self-pulsing in the good cavity limit even at very low pump levels. The dynamical behavior of two- and four-level systems shows rather good qualitative agreement with the result of previous experimental observations.
