Frequency bistability of a semiconductor laser under a frequency-dependent feedback

The emission frequency of a diode laser submitted to a frequency-dependent optoelectronic feedback is observed to have more than one stable operation point together with a stable power emission. This is, to our knowledge, the first observation of bistability exclusively in the frequency of an optical system. The experiment was carried out with a semiconductor laser coupled to the cesium D2 line by an orthogonally polarized frequency-sensitive optical feedback.     

Thermodielectric bistability in dual frequency nematic liquid crystal

We report on a thermodielectric bistability in dual frequency nematic liquid crystals (LCs) caused by the anisotropic nature of dielectric heating and director reorientation in an electric field. The bistability is a result of the positive feedback loop: director reorientation --> anisotropic dielectric heating --> dielectric anisotrophy --> director reorientation. We demonstrate both experimentally and theoretically that two states with different temperature and director orientation, namely, a cold planar state and a hot homeotropic state coexist in a LC cell for a certain frequency and amplitude range of the applied voltage.     

Third harmonic generation in layered media in presence of optical bistability of the fundamental

We study third harmonic generation in layered configuration when the fundamental exhibits bistable response. We consider two geometries, namely, a Fabry-Perot cavity with reflection coatings and a distributed feedback structure with alternate nonlinear layers. In both the cases for suitable choice of frequency, the power response at the fundamental frequency is bistable. We show that bistability of the fundamental leads to a multivalued character of the generated third harmonic in both the forward and backward directions. Moreover, we study frequency response in the case of the Fabry-Perot cavity and show that additional structures arise in the generated third harmonic due to frequency bistability of the fundamental. Our calculations suggest the possibility of an all optical switch at third harmonic frequency controlled by the parameters (like intensity, frequency) of the fundamental.     

Tunable optical bistability at microwave frequency based on 1D sandwich photonic structure consisting of a nonlinear dielectric slab and two magnetized cold plasma layers

In this paper, tunable optical bistability that denotes the relationship between input intensity and output intensity is numerically investigated in the microwave frequency region based on the one-dimensional (1D) sandwich photonic structure consisting of a Kerr-type nonlinear material slab and two magnetized cold plasma layers. Results show that, in the case of TM-polarized electromagnetic wave, width and switching thresholds of the bistability loops are dependent on the working frequency, initial incidence angle, layer thickness, plasma density, and external magnetic field, which should be judiciously selected to obtain a required bistability behavior. Compared to the case of switch-down threshold, the switch-up threshold in the bistability loop is more sensitive to the changes of parameters. Through this study, the suggested 1D sandwich photonic structure is beneficial to the all-optical signal processing.

Bistable operation of a GaAs-AlGaAs diode laser coupled to an external resonator of narrow spectral bandwidth

The influence of an external dispersive resonator on the emission properties of a double heterostructure semiconductor laser operating at room temperature has been investigated. The proper design of the external resonator (frequency selectivity and efficient back-coupling of the radiation leaving the diode) demonstrates that a laser with optical feedback can show bistability and hysteresis phenomena. The dispersive bistability has its origin in the dependence of the refractive index on carrier density, temperature and optical power. Hysteresis curves have been measured by changing the injection current or by tuning the dispersive element. We have found a threshold in the injection current for the onset of the hysteretic behaviour. Moreover, a theoretical model has been established to explain the essential features of the experimental results. Hysteresis cycles for different experiments have been calculated.     

Induced probe-beam modulation and resonatorless optical bistability in semiconductor (CdSxSe1−x)-doped glass

Induced probe-beam modulation in semiconductor-doped glass was observed. The dephasing between pump and probe modulation is dependent on the pump power, the modulation frequency and the selenium concentration. At room temperature, with a proper choice of these parameters, the dephasing can change from 0° (laser-induced clearing) to –180° (laser-induced darkening). A slow switching behaviour and optical bistability without external feedback are also reported.     

Analysis and optimization of optical bistability in one-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystal with (HL)(D)(LH) and (LH)(D)(HL) structures

Although one-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystal (1D-NPC) has been widely studied, there is no comprehensive analysis on decreasing the bistability threshold power.In this paper, conditions required to create bistability have been specified for two types of structures of alternative high and low refractive index layers and defect layers with Kerr nonlinearity effect, in the order of (HL)^p(D)^q(LH)^p and (LH)^p(D)^q(HL)^p, where L and H denote low and high refractive index layers, respectively, D stands for the defect layers, p is the number of LH or HL layers and q is the number of defect layers.One of the essentials for the bistability is appropriate shifts of frequency of the defect mode, so the effect of the order of layer's arrangement in (1D-NPC) structures have been studied. Different structures have been introduced and the best structure for the lowest bistability threshold power has been proposed. Nonlinear finite-difference time-domain (NFDTD) in C++ has been employed for simulation.     

弱光反馈下正交时变光注入VCSEL的双稳特性研究

基于垂直腔面发射激光器(VCSEL)的自旋反转模型(SFM),研究了弱光反馈下正交时变光注入VCSEL的双稳特性。研究结果表明,当副激光器(S-VCSEL)受到主激光器(M-VCSEL)正交时变光注入时,弱光反馈的引入不改变正交时变光注入VCSEL的双稳宽度随光注入扫描速率增大而增大的性质;对于确定的光注入扫描速率,随着反馈强度的增大,双稳宽度将变窄;当M-VCSEL与S-VCSEL之间存在频率失谐Δν(等于νm-νs,νm、νs分别为主、副激光器自由运行时的频率)时,随着Δν从负值逐渐增加到正值,双稳宽度总体呈现先减小后增大的趋势,无反馈时在负频区域双稳环宽度呈现的较大波动在引入光反馈后可得到一定程度的抑制。     

Spontaneous motion of localized structures and localized patterns induced by delayed feedback

We study the properties of 2D dissipative structures in a coherently driven optical resonator subjected to a delayed feedback. It has been predicted that delayed feedback can lead to the spontaneous motion of bright localized structures [M. Tlidi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 103904 (2009)]. We study here the phenomenon in detail. In particular, we show that the delayed feedback induces a spontaneous motion of periodic patterns and dark localized structures. We focus our analysis on nascent optical bistability regime where the space time dynamics is described by a variational Swift-Hohenberg equation. In the absence of delayed feedback, dark localized structures and patterns do not move. This behavior occurs when the product of the delay time and the feedback strength exceeds some critical value.
