Purely absorptive bistability in double-ring cavities

Pedro Martín Mejías, Rosario Martínez-Herrero, Eusebio Bernabéu

A novel type of optical bistable configuration, namely the so-called double-ring (DR) device, is presented. The stationary solutions in the purely absorptive case for a homogeneously broadened atomic system are derived. In the mean-field limit it has been pointed out that use of a DR arrangement enables us to reduce both the length of the sample of the nonlinear medium and the response time of the device. Linear stability analyses have shown that the position and the length of the unstable regions of a given hysteresis cycle can be controlled, to a great extent, by means of the two new parameters of our DR scheme. Finally, it has been remarked that, in order to observe self-pulsing, the purely absorptive DR system may present a similar behavior to that offered in the dispersive single-ring case.

Analytical study of optical bistability in silicon ring resonators

Ivan D. Rukhlenko, Malin Premaratne, Govind Prasad Agrawal

We analyze theoretically the nonlinear phenomenon of optical bistability inside a ring resonator formed with a silicon-waveguide nanowire and derive an exact parametric relation connecting the output intensity to the input intensity. Our input-output relation accounts for linear losses, the Kerr nonlinearity, two-photon absorption, free-carrier-induced absorption and dispersion, and thermo-optic effects within the resonator. Based on our study, we generalize the standard definition of effective length to allow for all possible losses within a silicon ring resonator. We also present a simplified version of the bistable phenomenon valid for resonators operating in a regime in which losses resulting from two-photon absorption are relatively small. Our analytical results provide clear insight into the physics behind optical bistability and may be useful for designing silicon-based optical memories.
