We investigate the space-time dynamics of a homogeneously broadened single-mode laser when local field correction (LFC) is taken into account. We demonstrate that the Maxwell-Bloch equations modified by LFC admit travelling-wave solutions, as when LFC is not taken into account. Their stability is discussed and compared to the case without LFC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We propose a new method to suppress the self-pulsing behaviour occurring in heavily-doped erbium-fibre lasers. The method consists of an electronic feedback on the pumping laser. It is theoretically demonstrated that this simple method efficiently stabilizes the output of the laser without changing the laser threshold and the laser efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
