Abstract
In this article we review recent theoretical and experimental developments on multilongitudinal-mode emission in ring cavity lasers, paying special attention to class B lasers. We consider both homogeneously and inhomogeneously broadened amplifying media as well as the limits of small and large cavity losses (i.e., we treat cases within and outside the uniform field limit approximation). In particular we discuss up to what extent the experimental observations of self-mode locking in erbium-doped fiber lasers carried out in recent years are a manifestation of the Risken-Nummedal-Graham-Haken instability.
