Dichroic optical bistability in a nonlinear Fabry–Perot interferometer

M. I. Dykman, Georgiy G. Tarasov

It is shown that a new type of optical bistability may occur in a Fabry–Perot resonator containing a nongyrotropic cubic crystal. This instability is due to an anisotropy of the nonlinear resonance absorption in the crystal. The explicit conditions for the establishment of dichroic optical bistability are determined for cases of two-photon absorption and resonance absorption by reorientable impurity centers.

Abstract Polarization optical bistability (POB) in crystals with FA‐centers mounted into a Fabry‐Perrot cavity is analysed. This type of optical bistability is caused by amplification of fluctuations of light polarization in crystals under consideration and has no threshold on radiation intensity. The range of parameters is found for impure crystals and cavity under POB conditions.
