Low power transverse optical bistability near bound excitons in cadmium sulfide

M. Dagenais, Herbert G. Winful

We report the observation of cw transverse optical bistability without power hysteresis at 1-mW power levels in uncoated cadmium sulfide platelets. Optically induced refractive index changes as large as 0.15 are deduced from measurements of the transverse spatial ring profile.

Low-Power Optical Bistability in Cadmium Sulfide Platelets

M. Dagenais, Wayne F. Sharfin, Herbert G. Winful

We report the observation of transverse and whole-beam optical bistability in thin uncoated cadmium sulfide platelets at milliwatt power levels when a laser is tuned to the vicinity of a bound exciton resonance. The characteristics of both processes are quite different and are described separately.
