Abstract
PURPOSE:To obtain optical bistability by controlling the transmission characteristics of an optical resonator for one laser beam of two kinds of laser beams, differing in frequency, by the other laser beam. CONSTITUTION:An optical function eement consists of a medium 1 which has the nonlinearity of absorption and/or dispersion to the quantity of incident light, an optical resonator 2 which includes the nonlinear medium 1, and two kinds of laser beams 3 and 4 which are incident from the direction of the optical axis of the optical resonator 2 and have different frequencies, and the transmission characteristics of the optical resonator for one laser beam 3 are controlled by the other laser beam 4. To obtain the incidence-transmission characteristics of signal light 3 as one laser beam of this system, absorption and separation caused on the nonlinear medium 1 by the presence of the signal light 3 and control light 4 in the optical resonator 2 are found firstly, and the incidence-transmission characteristics of the optical resonators 2a and 2b including the nonlinear medium 1 are found secondary; and the induced polarization (complex refractive index) of the nonlinear medium 1 found in the former stage is used for the incidence-transmission characteristics of the latter stage.
