Abstract A generalized rate equations model for class B lasers outside the uniform field limit is presented. This model allows to correctly describe the Risken–Nummedal–Graham–Haken instability and its associated multimode dynamics. When parameters suitable for fiber lasers – where the instability has been observed – are adopted, the computation time is shown to be greatly reduced with respect to the complete model based on the full set of Maxwell–Bloch (MB) equations.
