72. Note that when (Formula presented) approaches (Formula presented), the intensity diverges because the nonlinear gain saturation terms in Eq. (1) are not sufficient to stabilize the intensity. We therefore consider strengths of the cross-saturation parameter that are much less than this limiting value.

74. In the marginal case (Formula presented) we derive from Eq. (A8) that the condition of negligible partial intensity fluctuations is fulfilled if (Formula presented).
