Abstract

We theoretically describe the spontaneous formation of stable pulses in a GaAs bulk semiconductor microring laser. These pulses are obtained without active or passive mode locking. We show that the parameter regime associated with their existence is limited on one side by the phase instability of the continuous-wave solution, and on the other side by the failure of Lamb's mode-locking criterion. Bistability between the continuous-wave solution and the spontaneous pulses is observed.
