Abstract
The temporal development of both lasing light intensity and spectral content is influenced by the number of round‐trips photons make inside a Fabry–Perot laser. A surprisingly large number of cavity round trips (n≳100) are required for laser emission intensity and spectral content to approach dc values. With decreasing n the laser increasingly takes on the character of a light emitting diode.Keywords
