Abstract

We consider interaction of counter-propagating waves in a bi-directionally pumped ring microresonator with Kerr nonlinearity. We introduce a hierarchy of the mode expansions and envelope functions evolving on different time scales set by the cavity linewidth and nonlinearity, dispersion, and repetition rate, and provide a detailed derivation of the corresponding hierarchy of the coupled mode and of the Lugiato-Lefever-like equations. An effect of the washout of the repetition rate frequencies from the equations governing dynamics of the counter-propagating waves is elaborated in details.
