Erbium-based lasers capable to create pulses of coherent light in a vicinity of the wavelength 3 \(\mu\)m have important applications, especially to biology and medicine. Due to properties of the relevant atomic states in erbium, the operation of such lasers is expected to feature self-saturation, while in real experiments this effect is not observed. The present work aims to analyze detailed dynamical models of the laser, based on a system of rate equations for the involved atomic transitions, with the aim to explain this and other peculiarities of the laser operation. For this purpose, both dynamical and static solutions are analyzed. Specially considered is a dynamical regime that makes it possible to generate sufficiently short laser pulses, in addition to the usual continuous-waves generation regimes. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1054.65004].
