Intensity correlation function of an optical bistable system subjected to cross-correlated noises

The normalized correlation function C(s) of an optical bistable system driven by cross-correlated noises is investigated. Based on the numerical computation and simulation results, it is found that: (1) The intensity of multiplicative noise D and the intensity of additive noise Q play opposite roles on C(s), i.e., D enhances the rate of fluctuation decay of transmitted light intensity and Q slows down the rate of fluctuation decay of the transmitted light intensity; (2) The strength of correlations between the multiplicative and additive noises λ slows down the rate of decay of intensity fluctuation; (3) For the case of positive correlated noises (λ>0), the increasing cooperativity parameter C slows down the rate of decay of intensity fluctuation firstly and then enhances it; (4) For the case of negative correlated noises (λ<0), the increasing C almost does not affect the rate of decay of intensity fluctuation firstly and then enhances it.
