Optical Bistability and Multimode Instabilities

H. J. Carmichael

Published Apr 9, 1984• 18 citations

Abstract

A simple relationship transforms the theory of optical bistability into a theory of multimode instability and self-oscillation in a ring cavity excited between cavity resonances.Received 18 January 1984DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.52.1292©1984 American Physical Society
