Abstract

A comprehensive numerical and analytical study of the switching dynamics of bistable optical devices is reported. The intracavity medium is modelled as an ensemble of two-level atoms which may be either homogeneously or inhomogeneously broadened. By allowing for arbitrary atomic detunings and cavity mistunings, both the absorptive and dispersive contributions to optical bistability are included. Standing waves are fully taken into account in the usual way through Fourier expansions.
