Abstract

A new type of optical bistable device based on binary optics is proposed, which consists of two binary π 2 phase gratings, one for self-imaging and the other for phase compensation. The mathematical model which describes the optical bistability of this optical bistable device is obtained. Numerical simulations on the optical modulation and the optical bistability of the zero-order diffracted light are given, when the incident light beam is gaussian light beam.
