Abstract
The fundamental Lorenz-Haken laser model is generalized to the case of a two-level amplifying medium with different external relaxation rate s for the two levels and with internal relaxation. This represents one further degree of freedom, and important quantitative differences in the laser dynamics. i.e., in the stationary solutions, linear stabilit y analysis, and time-dependent solutions, are found. No significant qu alitative differences, however, are observed.
