Optical bistability in an all-optical fiber nonlinear fabry-perot resonator with linear absorption

Shenping Li, K.T. Chan

An all-optical fiber nonlinear Fabry-Perot resonator is proposed. The steady-state model for describing this resonator is developed. The transmission and refection bistabilities are shown numerically. Our results show that the bistability in this system is similar to that in a normal nonlinear Fabry-Perot etalon, except that the characteristics of the bistability can be changed not only by the cavity length but also by the phase shifts of the fiber loop mirrors.

Dynamic behavior of reflection optical bistability in a nonlinear fiber ring resonator

Kazuhiko Ogusu

We present an analysis of the dynamic behavior of a nonlinear fiber ring resonator when an optical pulse with an arbitrary shape envelope is incident into it through a fiber directional coupler. The transient analysis is based on the extension of a well-known multiple-beam interference method to non-linear transmission problems. The steady-state analyses reported so far predict that the ring resonator exhibits reflection optical bistability in the input-output characteristics under appropriate conditions. But, our transient analysis shows that a nearly periodical oscillation of the transmitted power always takes place at a suitable initial detuning when the resonator has no loss or a small loss. It seems that the present instability is caused by the repetition of accumulation and release of the power in the ring resonator. We can obtain a bistable hysteresis loop by introducing a loss to the directional coupler. The dynamic behavior of bistability in a nonlinear fiber ring resonator with coupler loss is then investigated. It is found that a remarkable undershoot and overshoot occur in the switch-off curve and switch-on curve, respectively.

Comparison between optical bistabilities versus power and frequency in a composite cavity-atom system

Zhaoyang Zhang, Danmeng Ma, Jun Liu +4 more

By making use of the changes in optical properties such as absorption and dispersion around the resonance generated via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), we theoretically and experimentally investigate a "∞"-shape optical bistability (OB) versus frequency on the probe transmission with a Λ-shape EIT window in a rubidium atomic ensemble confined in a three-mirror optical ring cavity. Compared to the traditional OB reflected by a hysteresis loop versus power, such newly demonstrated optical bistable behavior (represented by a "∞"-shape non-overlapping region) by scanning probe and cavity detuning can experience dual bistabilities and be more sensitive to the change of experimental parameters. Further, we study the relationship between vacuum Rabi splitting and the "∞"-shape OB. Such study on frequency-induced OB could effectively improve the applications related to OB such as logic-gate devices and optical information processing.
