Optical bistability and signal competition in active cavity with photochromic nonlinearity of bacteriorhodopsin

V. B. Taranenko, Mikhail V. Vasnetsov

Optically controlled bistability and signal competition are investigated theoretically and experimentally at an incoherent beam interaction in Fabry-Perot cavity containing two nonlinear elements: photochromic absorber on bacteriorhodopsin controlled by bleaching and coloring external beams and amplifier on organic dye pumped by periodic laser pulses.

Optical bistability under gain saturation conditions in a resonator controlled by external noncoherent beams

Mikhail V. Vasnetsov, V. B. Taranenko

Control of optical bistability was demonstrated for an active resonator cavity containing a saturable absorber in the form of an organic dye solution and also for a photochromic absorber based on genetically modified purple membranes of halobacteria. The interaction between the signal and laser beams was assumed to be noncoherent and noncollinear.
