Abstract: We present a simplified theory of the statistical behavior of a single mode laser ruled by two slow variables (class B lasers). By applying the center manifold theorem we introduce an improved adiabatic elimination procedure which reduces the description of class B lasers to two modified rate equations in an appropriate state space. The statistical dynamics is further reduced to a one dimensional Fokker-Planck equation in a parameter range corresponding to that where most experiments have been performed. The usefulness of this approach stems from the fact that a previously available theory is based on a two dimensional Fokker-Planck equation and limited to a narrower parameter range around threshold.
