Abstract We study the Lorenz–Haken instability in a laser with arbitrary mirrors reflectivity R . In the limit of slow population difference we demonstrate that in order to observe the instability the reflectivity must exceed the critical value R c ≃0.5379, which coincides with that found recently for the multimode (Risken–Nummedal–Graham–Haken) instability. Several other differences with respect to the uniform field limit R →1 are presented.
