PHOTOREFRACTIVE MODE-COUPLING BETWEEN 2 UNIDIRECTIONAL RING OSCILLATORS

Abstract

We consider the coupling between two photorefractive unidirectional ring resonators. The first resonator is driven by an external laser beam via photorefractive two-wave mixing. The internal oscillating beam is then employed to drive the second ring resonator via the same mechanism. Closed form solutions for the oscillation intensities and frequencies are given, and their numerical results are presented and discussed. PACS: 42.65
