Abstract
We investigate theoretically the master oscillator power amplifier usi ng a semiconductor laser model that is fully time and space (laterally and longitudinally) resolved, We numerically examine the stability of the device and identify the nature of the different instabilities. Th ese can arise from undamped relaxation oscillations, beating between t he longitudinal modes of any of the cavities that comprise the device, or lateral filamentation.
