Abstract

Stationary states of the system of two coupled double phase-conjugate mirrors are considered by taking into account small but finite seed values of the scattered waves at the entry into a nonlinear medium. Seed values are shown to determine both the possibility of self-starting oscillation for a given level of nonlinearity and the position and width of the bistability region.
