Bistability In Fabry-Perot Cavity Research Articles

The C-number treatment for one-photon absorptive optical bistability in Fabry-Perot cavity

The problem of optical bistability in a standing wave cavity in the steady state leads to a pair of coupled, nonlinear, ordinary differential equations for the forward and backward waves. Here an approach different from the truncation of hierarchy and spatial average is applied to obtain this pair of equations. The results are compared with those obtained from the other approaches.

Double-beam two-photon optical bistability in a Fabry-Perot cavity with polar molecules

Optical bistability in a micrometre-sized Fabry-Perot cavity, filled with appropriate polar molecules, is analysed after two incident beams (with frequenciesgw1 andgw2) produce in the system a two-photon resonance at frequencygw1 +gw2. One-photon resonances at the frequenciesgw1 andgw2 are discarded. It was not necessary to assume a particular relationship betweengw1 andgw2, and the single-beam two-photon optical bistability whengw1 andgw2 are of the same order or equal is emphasized.
