abstract = {In their review about intracavity laser spectroscopy, P. E. Toschek and V. Baev [in Laser Spectroscopy and
New Ideas, edited by W. M. Yen and M. D. Levenson, Springer Series in Optical Science ~Springer, Berlin,
1987] have shown that multimode lasers are needed to obtain a high sensitivity. In this paper we show that
two modes is enough. We discuss first the ideal case where only the spontaneous emission limits the sensitivity.
In a second part we take into account the spatial hole burning, which couples the two modes and has for
effect a lower limitation of the sensitivity. Analytical expressions are given for the modified absorption
coefficient and the time evolution of the intensity of the two modes is calculated by numerical integration.},
