The most frequently used mathematical models are presented. The author discusses the reasons for spontaneous occurrence of pulsation of the intensity of the radiation of solid-state lasers, the influence of the nonstationary nature of parameters and non-linearity of laser elements on the generation characteristics. Special emphasis is placed on the problems of low-frequency dynamics of multimode lasers.LasersQuantum electronicsElectronic books.Lasers.Quantum electronics.621.366Khanin I͡Akov Izrailevich604860MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450105403321Fundamentals of laser dynamics2028828UNINA
