Abstract

We analyze the stability of the stationary solutions of dispersive optical bistability in a ring cavity for a homogeneously broadened atomic system. The analysis is performed in the limit αL ⪡ 1, with C = αL2T fixed. It is shown that in the dispersive case one can yield instability also when bistability is absent. This feature suggests that the dispersive case is more suitable than the purely absorptive one with respect to the observation of the self-pulsing behavior.
