Abstract
This paper reports a steady-state theory for the polarization behaviour1 of the output of a ring optical cavity that contains a vapour of atoms with a driven to transition. The input laser radiation may have arbitrary polarization and detuning. We have extended a previously reported theory2 (which includes analytic results for zero detuning of the incident laser and zero magnetic field) to include detunings and magnetic fields.
