Abstract

We report on a bistable light transmission through a planar metamaterial consisted of a metal pattern of weakly asymmetric elements placed on a nonlinear substrate which enables sharp resonance response by excitation of a trapped mode. A feedback required for bistability is provided by the coupling between strong trapped mode resonance antiphased currents exited on the metal elements and an intensity of inner field in the nonlinear substrate.
