Abstract
We present the exact numerical results for optical multistability with surface plasmons coupled through a dielectric slab with isotropic Kerr-type nonlinearity. We show the possibility of having multivalued output with both the long- and short-range modes and discuss the field profiles in the nonlinear medium. Moreover, we show the existence of nonlinearity-induced resonances in the structure that are missing in the linear theory.
