This paper reports on the influence of the asymmetric gain saturation on the dynamics of InGaAsP Fabry-Perot lasers. The results are obtained by numerical simulations of multimode rate equations. The gain saturation effects that results in competition phenomena among lasing modes are investigated. A hopping multimode case is examined in detail. With means of the bifurcation analysis the regions with instabilities in the evolution of the mode intensities have been found. The following operation in the plane of two parameters are obtained: stable single mode, stable multimode, bistabile, and multimode hopping. The pulse traces of amplitudes of modes are plotted to illustrate the observed behaviors. Finally, the influence of linewidth enhancement Henry factor on the laser behavior is investigated.
