Abstract
We show that linear dispersion can be a natural and universal agent (compared to relaxation in Refs. 1 and 2) for amplification of pertubation and eventually lor possible instability in a nonresonant system with two laser beams counterpropagating in a third-order nonlinear medium. We consider the spatially stable eigenpolarizations3 with the two beams being linearly polarized and parallel to each other.4 The dynamics of the system is governed by two equations:
