Design of bistable optical devices using interference filters

DeGui Sun, Zhaoheng Weng, Shumei Yang +1 more

The optical bistabilities of ZnSe and ZnS interference filters have been studied since 1977 when Karpushko and Sinitsyn reported the first experimental results. We see from papers published that (a) it is appropriate to study and compute optical bistabilities of interference filters by a Fabry-Perot resonator; (b) during the fabrication of bistable optical devices (BOD) the parameters such as incident angles, transmission power, and influence of peak position error on BOD, etc. were not studied in detail; (c) the authors could not resolve the problems of transmission peak height for large absorption materials such as ZnSe. We propose a new method of designing BODs of interference filters to study these problems precisely.

Calculation and design for bistable optical devices of nonlinear interference filters

DeGui Sun, Na-Xin Wang, Zhao-Heng Weng +2 more

Three mathematical models for calculating and designing bistable optical devices (BODs) of nonlinear interference filters are compared and the necessity of using the accuracy matrix model based on the principle of thin-film optics to study optical bistabilities of nonlinear interference filters is confirmed. The relationships of important parameters, such as δl'0, δlt, and δl0 with the initial detuning δ, which are very helpful in designing the BODs, are calculated and plotted. The dispersive relations of ZnSe thin-film are introduced into the method to make the theoretical method self-consistent. Finally, experimental results of a BOD of nonlinear interference filter whose construction is calculated using this method are given.
