Features of self-excitation in thin inverse layers, based on which a special type of laser device using reflection of light from an amplifying medium can be constructed, are considered. Such devices are promising for use in integrated optics. Corresponding thicknesses of the inverse layers and possible angles of generation that appear close to the limiting angles for total reflection are calculated for a number of practically important special cases.
