Abstract

The usual configuration of the Brillouin fiber ring laser is slightly modified to investigate the influence of polarization effects on the system dynamics. Experiments reveal behaviors that drastically contrast with those observed when the polarization of the light remains linear. The Stokes emission may exhibit periodic and quasiperiodic instabilities with an antiphase phenomenon involving two polarization eigendirections. The frequency detuning between the Stokes wave and the cavity resonances seems to play a key role in the system dynamics.
