Abstract
In the classic work of McNeil, Drummond, and Walls1 it was predicted that doubly resonant intracavity second-harmonic generation (SHG) is unstable with respect to high frequency pulsations of the optical fields. This was one of the first predictions of dynamical instabilities in optical systems,' and it was subsequently the basis for several theoretical studies with respect to both classical3 and quantum4 features of the instability. Despite considerable theoretical interest, there has not, to date, been any experimental observation of this instability.
