摘要: We study pattern formation in a degenerate optical parametric oscillator (OPO) by including diffractive effects due to the propagation cavity. The solution of zero amplitude for OPO signal is found be unstable periodically modulated perturbations whenever detuning parameter field negative. A comparison between analytical solutions and numerical simulations roll structure shows excellent agreement wide range input amplitudes. threshold appearance rolls lower than usual obtained plane-wave limit, especially large detunings. When power increased, patterns lose stability, leading filamentation turbulence.
