Bistability and instability of three-level atoms inside an optical cavity
Optical bistability and dynamic instability are experimentally observed and studied in a system consisting of three-level L-type rubidium atoms in an optical ring cavity. The bistable behavior and self-pulsing frequency are experimentally manipulated by changing the controlling and cavity field parameters ~power and frequency!. These nonlinear effects are influenced by the enhanced Kerr nonline...
متن کاملOptical bistability for two-level atoms in a standing-wave cavity: errata.
In our recent Letter1 we labeled the ordinate in Fig. 2 incorrectly. The values of 1.0 and 2.0 on the scale labeled "Switching Intensity, Y (X1O-4)" should be replaced by 0.558 and 1.12, respectively. The scale then corresponds to that obtained from the theory quoted in the text of the Letter. Figure 2 without this change of scale presents the experimentally determined switching intensities Y f...
متن کاملOptical bistability for two-level atoms in a standing-wave cavity.
Observations of optical bistability are reported for a system composed of multiple atomic beams passing through a high-finesse optical cavity. Both the transmitted power and the intracavity fluorescent intensity have been recorded as functions of incident laser power for zero cavity and atomic detunings. A quantitative study has been made of the evolution of the steady-state switching intensiti...
متن کاملIntrinsic optical bistability in nanomechanical metamaterials at milliwatt power levels
We report the first demonstration of optical bistability in nanomechanical metamaterials arrays of plasmonic or dielectric resonators on flexible nano-membranes. Bistability results from the nonlinearity of the near-field forces induced by light. Optical bistability has received considerable attention over many years as it represents a fundamental building block for applications in optical swit...
متن کاملIntrinsic optical bistability of thin films of linear molecular aggregates: the two-exciton approximation.
We generalize our recent work on the optical bistability of thin films of molecular aggregates [J. A. Klugkist et al., J. Chem. Phys. 127, 164705 (2007)] by accounting for the optical transitions from the one-exciton manifold to the two-exciton manifold as well as the exciton-exciton annihilation of the two-exciton states via a high-lying molecular vibronic term. We also include the relaxation ...
