A cusp catastrophe model of optical bistability

Li C

A simple and clear catastrophe theory model of optical bistability is proposed, which indicates the threshold conditions for the occurrence of optical bistability and the methods for the control of the bistable characteristics.

Optical bistability of an aqueous aerosol particle detected through light scattering: theory and experiment

S. Arnold, T. R. O’Keeffe, K. M. Leung +3 more

We present a catastrophe-based graphic model for understanding the optical bistability (OB) of an aqueous aerosol particle detected in light scattering. The model is shown to be in good agreement with hidden resonance experiments and indicates that OB in such particles can occur at an incident power level of <50 x 10(-9) W. This threshold is controlled principally by the quality factor of morphological resonances and thermophysical properties of the particle. A catastrophe scheme for the bistability of solid particles is anticipated.

The Cusp Catastrophe of the Absorptive Optical Bistability Equation

Qun Li

By the methods of Catastrophe theory,the bifurcation analysis of the absorptive optical bistability equation has been done.We show that this equation is in the form of cusp catastrophe through an appropriate transformation.Finally,the bifurcation set of cusp catastrophe is obtained.
