Stark effect in dispersive optical bistability

J.A. Hermann, H. J. Carmichael

Published May 1, 1982• 3 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Stark terms associated with nonresonant transitions are shown to have important consequences when they are incorporated into the theory of dispersive optical bistability for a ring cavity. The perturbing effects of the nonresonant transitions should be detectable in an experiment.

Two-photon optical multistability

Li Fu-Li

The theory of two-photon optical bistability and multistability has been extended to include dispersive mechanism and all Stark shift terms. The double bistability and tristability in the two-photon process has been studied.

Optical bistability in the mixed absorptive-dispersive regime with two-state atoms

Luis A. Orozco, Albert T. Rosenberger, Harry J. Kimble

Quantitative comparisons between experiment and theory for the steady-state characteristics in optical bistability with two-state atoms are reported. Nonresonant conditions for both the cavity and the atomic medium are investigated in two different cavity geometries (ring and standing wave). The experiment fulfills to a very good degree the conditions that have been widely employed in theoretical models that consider a collection of two-state atoms interacting with a single mode of the electromagnetic field in a cavity.
