Abstract :
An expression for the threshold output power density for spontaneous mode locking in 
-switched lasers is derived. The resulting expression is readily evaluated in terms of laser emission cross section and linewidth and cavity geometry. The expression is evaluated for several experiments which previously reported spontaneous mode locking.
