Abstract
We recently reported [1] preliminary investigations of positive-branch instabilities in nonlinear resonators in the Fabry-Perot (folded) configuration. We deal with the dispersive limit of the Maxwell-Bloch equations (Kerr medium). The finite longitudinal relaxation time (τ) means that diffusion of the excitation is possible, and we assume that the diffusion length greatly exceeds the wavelength.
