Space-time laser instabilities in homogeneously broadened dense media.

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]
