Instabilities of a Dispersive Nonlinear All Fiber Ring Cavity,
Abstract
Nonlinear optical cavities have been proposed for many applications such as bistability and optical switching. They have recently found an important application as the fast modulating element in coupled-cavity mode-locking. In this paper, we address the problem of the dynamical instabilities at the output of an all-fiber ring cavity synchronously pumped by a pulse train from a sync. pumped dye laser. Our analysis is based on a numerical simulation of the Nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS) equation and is primarily intended to explain recent experimental results.
