Low-power optical bistability and hysteresis in the laser system with absorbing nanosuspension

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate an optical bistability in a laser system with incoherent optical feedback and a nanosuspension as a nonlinear element. The optical transfer function is shown to exhibit a hysteresis loop for the light power in the range of a few milliwatts. It has been found that the optical bistability relies on the incoherent optical feedback and thermal defocusing nonlinear optical response of the nanosuspension.
