Abstract
We theoretically analyse the dynamics of Brillouin scattering in Perot-Fabr y fibre cavities. An original approach to the stability analysis of the ste ady state allows us to define the instability domain and to locate chaotic behaviours up to now attributed to Kerr effect. Numerical investigations gi ve evidence of a Newhouse-Ruelle-Takens route to chaos, associated with the increase in the number of cavity modes under the gain curve. (C) 1999 Else vier Science B.V.
