Abstract
Excitability and relaxation oscillations are shown to appear in the vi cinity of subcritical or transcritical bifurcations with a different s cenario from those previously introduced in biology, chemistry and liq uid-crystal physics. Experimental observation of such a scenario has b een done in a laser with intracavity saturable absorber.
