Amplitude and polarization instability of picosecond light pulses exciting a semiconductor optical resonator

Abstract

The first results of our study of nonlinear shift, distortion of form, and destruction of picosecond light pulses interacting with a nonlinear Fabry–Perot resonator in a strongly nonstationary regime are reported. Polarization instability of the light pulse transmitted through a nonlinear resonator has been observed.
