Abstract: We show that the well known laser rate equations are fully equivalent to the motion in a Toda potential with intensity dependent losses. The dissipative terms are proportional to the square root of the ratio between the damping rate of the atomic population inversion and that of the field intensity. The limit case 1 is extensively studied, finding analytical approximations for the period of the oscillations and the energy losses. Feasibility of adiabatic eliminations is also discussed.
