with t being the slow time and [tau] the fast time (i.e -[t.sub.R]/2 [less than or equal to] [tau] [less than or equal to] [t.sub.R]/2), [t.sub.R] the round trip time, [alpha]' = [alpha]L + [theta] are the total round trip losses in the cavity and [[delta].sub.0] = [[omega].sub.pmp] - [[omega].sub.0] the detuning of the pump field with respect to the closest cold-cavity resonance [[omega].sub.0].
The play, which is based on an idea by the actor Erdogan Kavaz and written and directed by Panagiotis Larkou, is set in a living room that's forever in a state of having just been mopped, where Tupperware exhibitions fail, chocolates mysteriously disappear, corpses change sex and someone persists in detuning the piano.
The self-Kerr nonlinear coefficient given be (12) represents a function of the intensity and frequency detuning of the coupling light and temperature of the medium.

where the probe frequency detuning [DELTA] = [[omega].sub.-,2] - [[omega].sub.p] with [[omega].sub.-,2] the transition frequency between the dressed level |-> and the bare level |2>, [lambda] denotes the pumping rate of the population from the ground level |1> to the dressed level |->, and [OMEGA] = [[OMEGA].sub.E] + [[OMEGA].sub.B] with the electric Rabi frequency [[OMEGA].sub.E] = [p.sub.-,2][E.sub.p]/[??] and the magnetic Rabi frequency [[OMEGA].sub.B] = [m.sub.-,2][B.sub.p]/[??].
This can be achieved by detuning the resonators from the centre frequency of the bandstop filter.
