Abstract
We investigated the optical bistability (OB), which is manipulated by double dark resonances, in a [Formula: see text]-type four-level atomic system with a unidirectional ring cavity. It is found that, with the interaction of double dark resonances, the bistable threshold intensity becomes weaker and the hysteresis loop becomes narrower by tuning properly the detuning of microwave field. Also, the influence of the intensity and frequency detuning of the microwave field on switching on or off the optical bistable behavior is studied, which is used to provide the theoretical guidance for controlling and optimizing all optical switching process. Our numerical results are explained by using a dressed-state approach.
