  • Abstract
    An investigation is reported of a ring laser model employing a homogeneously broadened gain line and a discrete loss. For certain laser parameters the stable solutions consist of one or more pulses traveling around the ring. These pulses propagate at a velocity exceeding the phase velocity of light in the medium.
