Résumé : We present a double-pass optical loop containing a purely dispersive and an essentially purely nonlinear element as a potential fast intensity oscillator. The residual dispersion in the nonlinear element is found to play a key role in the dynamics. We analytically investigate the dynamics of the loop both for normal and anomalous dispersion, using linear and weakly nonlinear analysis. Numerically, stable operation is found for normal residual dispersion, while a tendency to multimode and irregular spiking is observed for anomalous dispersion. The effect of losses is also discussed. © 2006 The American Physical Society.
