Description
We report our theoretical studies on optical bistability in a periodically poled LiNbO3 crystal. The optical resonance and the non-linearity essential for bistability are induced by the electro-optic effect and the cascaded X(2):X(2) effect, respectively. It is found that the threshold for bistability is much lower than those based on the traditional periodically layered structure. (author)
