Acousto-optic optical bistability in different states of acoustic field
Characteristics of A-O optical bistability with different acoustic travelling-wave coefficient a and effects of acoustic field state on the bistability are analysed. It is pointed out that for A-O bistability to be of practical usefulness the acoustic field should have a specific αcoefficient. When α=1 (i.e., pure acoustic standing-wave field) the A-O bistability becomes useless. Experimental results are in agreement with theories.
