Optical bistability in thin-film CdSe interference filters

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Nonlinear, thin-film interference filters with CdSe as spacer material have been fabricated. Optical bistability is observed with less than 3 mW of optical power with wavelengths in the 810–850-nm region. The nonlinear mechanism is shown to be thermal. Filters having thicker CdSe spacers are more stable than filters with very thin spacers.
