Abstract

A study is made of the three-dimensional instabilities of two counterpropagating light waves in Brillouin-active media. Such instabilities involve from one to four near-resonant electromagnetic sidebands, which interact with each other and the pump waves by scattering from four different sound-wave density gratings. These gratings can be driven either resonantly or nonresonantly. In Fig. 1 the wave vector matching diagram is shown where q is the principle-grating wave vector.
