We give a general equation which allows the description of the evolution of the laser properties when the gain is varied from below to above threshold. The method is general in the context of the semi-classical theory of lasers. It is numerically illustrated in the simplest case of a single mode laser with a source term characterized by a very narrow spectrum. The transformation of the Airy line shape of the passive Fabry-Perot cavity into the laser line shape is described. A classical linewidth which complements the usual quantum limit can thus be introduced, together with its control parameters.
