Unfortunately, its experimental realization has remained elusive for conventional laser materials and cavities mostly due to the extreme pumping conditions and the low cavity quality factors (“bad-cavity condition”) required to achieve Lorenz–Haken (L-H) self-pulsing dynamics upon continuous wave excitation. In this paper, it is theoretically proved that dielectric and plasmonic nanolasers, that can naturally fulfill the bad-cavity condition, may overcome the limitations of macroscopic cavities and make the observation of L-H instabilities in visible-IR solid-state materials become a reality. Remarkably, the adequate choice of active material and cavity design enables the generation of trains of ultrashort pulses in the sub-ps regime and with MHz–GHz repetition rates without the need of resorting to neither mode-locking nor Q-switching techniques. Thus, the results reported in this manuscript unveil a new paradigm in the generation of ultrashort pulses at the nanoscale.Peer reviewedWiley-VCHConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202120212021info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Postprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/245328reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
