Abstract

A scheme for the realization of optical bistability in a nonlinear Fabry-Perot (F-P) interferometer has been considered under conditions of multifrequency excitation. The dependencies of the spectral-components intensities, their ratios, and the total intensity at F-P output on the input intensity have been analyzed. The possibility to realize the optical control of radiation color as perceived by the eye has been shown.

Optical Bistability from Ferroelectric Fabry-Perot Interferometer

Abdel-Baset M.A. Ibrahim, David Reginald Tilley, Junaidah Osman

We study the nonlinear optical bistability and multistability of a nonlinear ferroelectric (FE) Fabry-Perot (FP) interferometer assumed coated with partial dielectric mirrors on its interfaces. The FE material is considered to have an intensity-dependent refractive index where the third order nonlinear susceptibility χ ilmn (3) acts like Kerr coefficient. The nonlinear response of the FE medium is modeled by the Landau-Khalatnikov (LK) dynamical equation. Within a single frequency approximation, the nonlinear wave equation is written in terms of polarization P rather than the electric field E as the dependent variable. The resulting nonlinear polarization equation is numerically integrated across the FP film using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method. The behavior of the resulting polarization and transmission as a function of the field input intensity is investigated.

Control of a Fabry-Perot interferometer with the use of independent optical pump

N. A. Ivanova, S. M. Karpuck, Alexander S. Rubanov +1 more

A scheme for control of the transfer function of a nonlinear Fabry-Perot interferometer (F-P) using an independent light beam (optical pumping), tuned in frequency to the absorption band from the excited level of resonant medium, has been suggested. The possibility of switching operating modes of the interferometer (differential amplification, discriminator, optical bistability) has been shown.

Optical polarization multistability

G. G. Adonts, G. P. Dzhotyan, Eghine G. Kanetsyan

A theoretical investigation is made of the polarization characteristics of the optical polarization and amplitude multistability of a Fabry?Perot interferometer filled with a nonlinear resonant medium. In the case of linear polarization of the incident radiation it is shown that an amplitude hysteresis differs considerably from a hysteresis predicted by a scalar theory; moreover, the degree of polarization exhibits a hysteresis. A calculation is made of the critical input intensity of elliptically polarized radiation for which the ellipticity at the output rises strongly even when it is negligible at the input.

Signal Processing With A Nonlinear Fabry-Perot

E. Garmire

In this paper we consider the nonlinear Fabry-Perot and its applications to optical signal and image processing. This paper addresses the signal processing aspects of a nonlinear Fabry-Perot interferometer with emphasis on image processing. The device geometry is shown in Figure 1. A thin nonlinear medium, whose refractive index is a function of the light intensity inside the Fabry-Perot is sandwiched between two plane parallel mirrors. The output as a function of input is shown in Fig. 2, for two different values of the difference between the Fabry-Perot low intensity resonance and the incident wavelength. The bistable curve in 2a is the origin of the term optical bistability and makes possible an optical memory, in which the output is a function of the history of the device. The Figure 2b represents a typical nonlinear transfer curve which may be used for signal processing. It can be seen that small changes in the input intensity Ic make large changes in the output intensity.
