Abstract: | We analyse the hysteresis enlargements of an optical bistable system involving three dynamical variables. We investigate,
both experimentally and numerically, the local dynamics of the up- and down-switching process versus the sweeping frequency of the control parameter. In particular, we delineate the domain of validity of the scaling law predicted for one-dimensional systems. At high sweeping frequency, we show the appearance of another asymptotic
scaling low in . Thereafter, we analyse the global evolution of the hysteresis loop induced by these processes. At low frequency, a scaling law is retrieved, whereas at high frequency, the dynamical behaviour is shown to strongly depend on the particular
shape of the bistability curve.
