Abstract
A vertical cavity surface emitting laser with saturable absorber can work as a cavity soliton laser. We show that the properties of the system are deeply influenced by the radiative recombination of carriers. The existence of solitons is shown numerically for a choice of parameters suitable to describe devices where the same material is used for the active and the passive parts.
