Abstract
We determine analytical expressions for the Risken-Nummedal-Graham-Haken mu ltimode laser instability outside the uniform field limit in the case of ve ry fast polarization decay (class-B laser). A new condition for the observa bility of that instability, concerning the value of the cavity mirrors refl ectivity, is predicted. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rig hts reserved.
