Abstract
A new practical nonlinear modulator is achieved by utilizing two parallelly adjacently arranged sinusoidal amplitude gratings. A new class of three-channel optical bistable device can be formed by using this modulator with a ceramic electrostrictor. The mathematical models which describe the optical modulation of this modulator and the optical bistability of this optical bistable device are described. The results of computer simulations on the optical modulation and bistability in the zero-order and the two first-order components of the diffracted light are given. This modulator and optical bistable device have some potential applications in optical communications and integrated optics, such as to construct star coupler, optical switch, optical threshold device, and optical stable filter.
