Abstract
Modulation instability (MI) and evolution of pattern formation inside a passive non-linear photorefractive ring resonator having cavity-length longer than the coherence length of the light circulating in the resonating cavity has been theoretically analyzed. Dynamics of the system below the threshold conditions have also been analyzed, numerically using linear perturbation theory for the Kerr-type non-linearity. The process of modulation instability in a temporally incoherent cavity below the cavity threshold and the influence of various parameters such as the cavity-length, intensity feedback of the perturbed wave field, amplitude of the incoming beam and spatial frequency on the gain factor and the spatial spectral density have also been studied. For the perturbed wave field, it has been found that the growth rate of MI increases with increase in the intensity feedback as well as the spatial frequency. It has also been found that increasing the intensity feedback of the perturbed wave field, for a given value of the spatial frequency, the spatial spectral density of the perturbation at the output of the non-linear medium increases with the shifting peak positions to the higher spatial frequency side.
