We develop the quantum theory of an open-cavity laser assuming that only two modes compete for gain. We show that the modes interact to build up a composite mode that becomes the lasing mode when pumping exceeds a threshold. This composite mode exhibits all the features of a typical laser mode, whereas its precise behavior depends explicitly on the openness of the cavity. We approach the problem by using the density-matrix formalism and derive the master equation for the light field. Our results are of particular interest in the context of random laser systems.
