Double-beam two-photon optical bistability in a Fabry-Perot cavity with polar molecules

摘要

Optical bistability in a micrometre-sized Fabry-Perot cavity, filled with appropriate polar molecules, is analysed after two incident beams (with frequenciesgw1andgw2) produce in the system a two-photon resonance at frequencygw1+gw2. One-photon resonances at the frequenciesgw1andgw2are discarded. It was not necessary to assume a particular relationship betweengw1andgw2, and the single-beam two-photon optical bistability whengw1andgw2are of the same order or equal is emphasized.
