Abstract
The impact of a weak external magnetic field upon the conditions of optical bistability (OB) realization in the exciton absorption region of layer semiconductors has been investigated. With the 2H-polytype PbI2 used as an example, the possibility of obtaining the OB realization region by changing the external magnetic field intensity has been shown. This effect can be used as a basic guideline in measuring the level of laser radiation signals, and can provide means for metrological maintenance of systems working in different active regime.
