Abstract

The main schemes of optical bistability and phase conjugation is review with particular emphasis on the instabilities and routes to chaos that occur there. Their impact on the performances of nonlinear optical devices is discussed.

BIFURCATIONS TO CHAOS IN OPTICAL BISTABILITY

F. A. Hopf

Recent predictions by Ikeda show novel instabilities in optically bistable devices which can give chaotic behavior. Experiments confirming this prediction are presented. A discussion of the nature of chaos and the rationale for its study is also given.

Optical Bistable Devices: The Basic Components Of All-Optical Systems?

H. M. Gibbs, S. L. McCall, Thirumalai Venkatesan

Intrinsic optical bistability experiments are reviewed and their contributions summarized. Very large nonlinearities in semiconductors give reason to hope that practical devices may evolve in the near future. Characteristics important for practical optical logic devices are discussed: size, temperature range, holding intensity, switching energy, switching times, and wavelength range and stability.
