Hysteresis transmission of evanescent waves in a composite nonlinear device.
The transition from the transmission regime to that of total internal reflection in a composite device using a nonlinear Kerr material is analyzed taking the Goos-Hänchen effect into consideration. Experimental evidence of the generation of shifted waves in such a material is shown. A computer simulation showing optical bistability in the device is also presented.
