Abstract
Self pulsing due to the single-mode instability has been observed in optical bistability.1 This self-pulsing instability has its roots in corresponding instabilities first analyzed for the homogeneously broadened laser. It shares a common physical origin in the intrinsic mechanism by which a strong intracavity field alters the absorption profile of the intracavity medium to produce amplification at frequencies offset from that of the strong field.
