Abstract

We report the transient nonadiabatic generalization of Bonifacio-Lugiato1 cw nonlinear ring cavity optical bistability (NRCOB) with mirrors that ensure the necessary feedback. A semiclassical formalism is adopted, consisting of a paraxial wave equation coupled to the two-level sharp-line density matrix which includes detuning and relaxation times in conjunction with boundary conditions at the mirrors. The existing super-fluorescence finite difference code2 with radial variations of the Beer length has been modified to simulate the NRCOB with the free space propagation between the mirror treated with a finite Hankel series.3
