The effect of spontaneous emission noise on the light circulating in a ring cavity with a nonlinear absorbing medium is studied by means of a set of stochastic delay-differential equations based on the deterministic Ikeda model. Noise fluctuations are found to be amplified as the first bifurcation from the steady state of the system is approached.
