Nonreciprocity of Losses and Shift of the Zero Point in a Laser Gyroscope

摘要

Results of calculations of intensities, losses, and frequencies of counterpropagating waves in a ring resonator containing a weakly nonlinear active medium and an aperture are given. It is shown that inequalities of frequencies and intensities of generation of counterpropagating waves occur in such a resonator. The behavior of these inequalities is determined by the nonreciprocity of frequency-dependent losses of the counterpropagating waves.
