Abstract

We show that the well known laser rate equations are fully equivalent to the motion in a Toda potential with intensity dependent losses. The dissipative terms are proportional to the square root ε of the ratio between the damping rate of the atomic population inversion and that of the field intensity. The limit case ε≪1 is extensively studied, finding analytical approximations for the period of the oscillations and the energy losses. Feasibility of adiabatic eliminations is also discussed.
