Statistical properties of light in a positive feedback loop of the random nature

Processes in a positive electrooptical feedback loop of the random nature a re considered theoretically. The possibility of the appearance of anomalous ly large intensity fluctuations in the feedback loop, i.e., generation of s uperbunched light, is shown within the framework of classical statistical o ptics. The dependence of the dispersion of the light intensity on the feedb ack coefficient is obtained in both linear and nonlinear approximations.
