TLDR
In this article, the instability threshold characteristics for the ring cavity with passive weakly absorbing two-level atoms cell were derived, and several conical shells were predicted, depending on the optical arrangement, and on the buffer gas pressure.About:

Transverse nonlinear optics: Introduction and review
TL;DR: The characteristics features of the field of Transverse Nonlinear Optics are briefly illustrated, as an introduction to this special issue of Chaos, Solitons & Fractals as discussed by the authors, in the special issue "Chaos, solitons and fractals".

Pattern formation due to interballoon spatial mode coupling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze new types of transverse interactions in nonlinear-optical systems with a Kerr slice and diffractive feedback, and demonstrate that interactions between the most unstable modes that have wave vectors belonging to different mode instability bands (interballoon interactions) cause the formation of new type of patterns.

Daisy patterns in the passive ring cavity with diffusion effects
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of seven to fifteen petal daisies, with a top-hat input, and a small diffusion term that controls this daisy-type pattern formation, preventing the usual hexagonal structure to be formed.

Beyond the Mean-Field Model of the Ring Cavity
TL;DR: In this article, a ring cavity device with large diffraction path in the free-space of the cavity was shown to generate a large variety of monoconicaland multiconical patterns with wave and/or Turing modes, for anonlinear medium made of two-level atoms or with a χ (2) crystal.

Multiple-valued stationary state and its instability of the transmitted light by a ring cavity system
TL;DR: In this article, the stability of the stationary state is investigated in the fast limit of the atomic relaxation for a ring cavity containing a homogeneously broadened two level absorber.

Four-wave parametric interactions in a strongly driven two-level system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of four-wave parametric amplification resulting from the nonlinear response of a two-level atomic system, which can induce loss or three-photon gain in either weak wave and act to parametrically couple these waves.

Theory of Saturated-Absorption Line Shapes
Serge Haroche,Francis Hartmann +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a general theory of the saturated-absorption phenomenon in a two-level atomic system is developed, in which the phase relationships between the oscillating atomic dipoles as well as the population differences between energy levels are taken into account.

Transverse modulational instabilities for counterpropagating beams in Kerr media.
William J. Firth,C. Paré +1 more
TL;DR: Computed Gaussian-beam results agree well with analytic plane-wave calculations that straddle Raman-Nath and Bragg regimes for counterpropagating waves in Kerr media for both focusing and defocusing nonlinearities.
