Relaxation Time for an Optical Bistable System Subjected to Color Noises
Bing Wang, Wu Xiu-Qing, Dongchao Cheng
The relaxation time T of an optical bistable system with cross-correlated color noises and small time delay is investigated. Using the Novikov theorem and Fox approach, the steady probability distribution is obtained. The expression of T is derived using the Stratonovich decoupling ansatz formalism. It is found that the relaxation time T increases with the increasing cross-correlation time τ 0 between the two noises or the self-correlation time τ 1 of the multiplicative noise, but decreases with the increasing self-correlation time τ 2 of the additive noise. T decreases with the increasing correlation intensity λ or the multiplicative noise intensity Q , but increases with the increasing additive noise intensity D . There exists a peak in the curve of T versus delay time τ.
