Dv. Skryabin et al., SPONTANEOUS PHASE SYMMETRY-BREAKING DUE TO CAVITY DETUNING IN A CLASS-A BIDIRECTIONAL RING LASER, Optics communications, 116(1-3), 1995, pp. 109-115
We study the dynamics of a nonrotating class-A bidirectional ring lase
r with backscattering. A pair of new bistable time dependent regimes w
ith opposite values of beat frequency of counterpropagating waves is d
escribed. These regimes exist for certain cavity detunings.
