Résumé

Based on numerical simulation of the nonstationary working of a CW superradiant laser with a low-Q combined Fabry–Perot cavity with distributed feedback of waves, we describe a parametric mechanism of self-mode-locking caused by beats of two superradiant modes with a period half that of the cavity round-trip period and supporting the formation of a soliton of the electromagnetic field inside the cavity without using any additional mode-locking technique.
