Abstract
The emission and stability properties of a plane-wave model of intracavity degenerate four-wave mixing including self- and cross-phase modulation are studied. A Kerr medium inside an anisotropic cavity in which a linearly pol arized field is injected is considered. Cavity anisotropy leads to qualitat ive new phenomena such as a subcritical polarization instability. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
