20. Instabilities in OPO devices have been reported that are nearly singly resonant, with a small amount of feedback at the nonresonant frequency. 9 Our model can also deal with such situations, and we can even predict how small this feedback will be to give stable operation. We do not discuss them here, as our main purpose is to treat instabilities in DRO's.
