Abstract

Recently we have developed [1,2] the non-1inear-complex-eikonal approximation. Our goal was to set a standard mathematical treatment for the analysis of the propagation of light waves through non-linear media. The linear eikonal approximation is a cornerstone for optical systems design and we hope that the non-linear eikonal method will gain some of the universality of its linear counterpart.

Application Of The Nonlinear Eikonal Treatment To The Design Of Optical Bistable Devices.

Meir Orenstein, Jacob Katriel, Shammai Speiser

A recently presented eikonal treatment of nonlinear resonators and coupled resonators is generalized to enable the treatment of absorptive as well as dispersive optical bistability. The behavior of molecular media, incorporated in various types of resonators is emphasized.

Nonlinear complex eikonal approximation: Optical bistability in absorbing media

Meir Orenstein, Jacob Katriel, Shammai Speiser

A recently developed nonlinear complex eikonal approximation which was previously employed to the study of dispersively nonlinear resonators is applied to absorptively nonlinear resonator configurations. The nonlinear absorption is introduced phenomenologically, encompassing a large variety of intensity-dependent absorption mechanisms. Conditions for obtaining optical bistability are derived. Dynamically increasing absorption was not considered, and optical bistability in free propagation was not obtained.
