Phase control of amplitude-fluctuation-induced bistability

Phase-dependent optical bistability and multistability in a semiconductor quantum well system

“…One of the interesting phenomena, the optical bistability (OB) in multilevel atoms confined in an optical cavity [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34], has been the subject of many recent studies because of its potential wide applications in all-optical switches, memories, transistors, and logic circuits [35][36][37][38]. These studies show that one can control the bistable threshold intensity and the hysteresis loop via different approaches such as the field-induced transparency [23], the amplitude fluctuation of the driven field [24,25], the injection of squeezed light [26][27][28], the spontaneously generated coherence [29][30][31][32], the atomic cooperation parameter [33], the use of a low-frequency driven field [34], and so on.…”

Phase control of optical steady-state behaviors from Fano-type interference in triple-semiconductor quantum wells

“…(2) can be rewritten as follows: j=0 jj = 1. Now, we consider a medium of length L composed by the QW system described above, which is embedded in a unidirectional ring cavity [34][35][36][37], as shown in Fig. 2.…”
