Self-pulsing instabilities in the generation of higher harmonics

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

We consider nonlinear optical processes in a cavity. The processes are driven by an external coherent pump. We predict self-pulsing instabilities in the generation of higher harmonics. We also derive formulas for the threshold pump strength and critical selfpulsing frequency.
