A study of thermally-induced optical bistability and the role of surface treatments in si-based mid-infrared photonic crystal cavitiesWe report the observation of optical bistability in Si-based photonic crystalcavities operating around 4.5...
Resonatorless optical bistability in transmission of thin semiconductor filmThe optical bistability phenomenon in the steady-state light transmission by a thin semiconductor film is studied taking into account two-pulse two-photon excitation of biexcitons...
Optical bistability in a low-photon-density regimeWe give a microscopic description of the optical bistability, where the transmission coefficient has two different values as a function of input light intensity, and the system exhibits a discontinuous jump with a hysteresis...
Resonator-free optical bistability based on epsilon-near-zero modeAbstract A majority of existing research on optical bistability rely on resonant schemes using nonlinear materials, which inevitably require a trade-off between the switching intensity and response time....
