Optical bistability and self-oscillation of a nonlinear Fabry-Perot interferometer filled with a nematic-liquid-crystal film.
A Fabry-Perot interferometer filled with an 83-microm-thick nematic-liquid-crystal film exhibits multiple-order optical bistability and self-oscillation. The oscillation is shown to be due to two competing mechanisms with different response times contributing to the laser-induced refractive-index change.
