We consider a ring laser whose counterpropagating modes are coupled by a spatial modulation in the gain medium. We derive a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation for these modes. In this way we show that the diffusion coefficient of the relative phase angle may vanish in both linear and nonlinear theory.
