Abstract
In the majority of optically bistable systems discussed to date, the bistability results from nonuniqueness in the boundary conditions coupled with a unique wave equation. We describe here optical bistability which occurs with unique boundary conditions but a non-unique wave equation, due to bistability in the susceptibility tensor.
