Spatiotemporal Structures in Bistable Optical Schemes

We present the results of theoretical analysis and computer simulations of field structures in passive bistable optical systems: increasing absorption devices. nonlinear cavities (interferometers), and two-beam nonlinear schemes. New opportunities for parallel optical processing are discussed.

InSb at room temperature exhibits significant dispersive nonlinearity at 10 μm as a result of generation of free carriers by a two-photon absorption process(1). This has enabled us to study optical bistability in InSb at room temperature using pulsed CO2 laser radiation(2).

Ultrafast switching based on field optical bistability in nano-film of semiconductor

Vyacheslav A. Trofimov, Vladimir A. Egorenkov, M.M. Loginova

Using computer simulation, we show a possibility of ultrafast switching between stable states of an optical bistable device based on nano-film of semiconductor. Optical bistability occurs because of nonlinear dependence of semiconductor absorption coefficient on electric field potential. Electric field is induced by a laser pulse due to charged particles generation. The main feature of this bistable element is low absorption energy, which is necessary for switching, in comparison with bistable element based on other physical mechanism of laser energy absorption. For computer simulation of a problem under consideration a new finite-difference scheme is proposed using the original iterative process.
