✦ Synopsis
In this present paper, the optical bistability in a circular laser containing a saturable absorber LSA for inhomogeneous broadening is studied. A simple mathematical model was developed to describe the action of this type of laser in a circular resonator under two conditions, when the spontaneous emission is neglected or included in the cavity. For both of these two cases, the coefficient of saturation was considered to be equal or different to unity (z ¼1 or za1). The photons intensities Q j were determined as function of the pumping rate s 0 of the active medium and analyzed the linear stability of the stationary solutions obtained in a circular laser containing a saturable absorber ''LSA'' for inhomogeneous broadening.
