Abstract
In the past decade, experimental results of transient optical bistabilities in etalons of CdSxSe1-x doped glasses have been presented by many authors[1-3]. Switching speed of ns to ps orders has been obtained. However, there still do not exist a dynamics theory of this transient optical bistability. This paper emphasizes the dependence of the implementation of transient optical bistabilities on the incident pulse width, the media response time, the FP cavity establishing time, and also, the influence of the incident pulse width on the switching speed.
