Abstract
We propose a new optical bistable device composed of a Michelson interferometer and a ceramic electrostrictor. Optical bistability is proved theoretically and experimentally. An optical stabilizer made use of this bistable device to stabilize the optical output power of He–Ne, cw Nd3+:YAG, Ar+, and CO2 lasers. In the experiment we used it to stabilize the optical output power of a He–Ne laser and a cw Nd3+:YAG laser and obtained satisfactory results.
