We investigate the dynamical behavior of optical Fabry-Perot resonators consisting of LiNbO3 slabs (x and c cut) that are coated with different (absorbing or lossless) dielectric multilayers deposited on both sides of the slabs. Bistable switching is observed experimentally. The buildup of beam fanning with time leads to destructive interference for a portion of the incident beam, inducing a ch...
