Using a hybrid bistable optical device with a large photon shot noise, we have observed fluctuations and spontaneous transitions between the two states. The experimental results are compared with various discrete and exact models. Although the solution to the problem is not exact, good agreement is found with all the approximate models if one allows the counting rates to be adjustable.

The behavior of an optical bistable system in which the fluctuations play the dominant role has been studied on the basis of a Fokker-Planck description by Schenzle and Brand.1 However, all the analyses so far approximate the fluctuations as arising from a constant external noise source described by a δ-correlated, Gaussian random process.2,3 In this paper intensity-dependent shot noise fluctuations of a bistable system are experimentally studied for the first time, using a hybrid bistable optical device, and analyzed by a simple “ladder" model that fits the data well.
