Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental method for the determination of thermal nonlinearities of semiconductor doped glasses induced by cw laser radiation is presented, at steady state conditions, which is in good agreement with experimental data reported in the literature for similar materials.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors observed a hysteretic reflection of a Gaussian laser beam at the interface between glass and a liquid solution of polystyrene microspheres as nonlinear medium with both branches of the hysteric curve being stable, in contrast to the results of previous experiments.
Abstract: We have observed a hysteretic (bistable) reflection of a Gaussian laser beam at the interface between glass and a liquid solution of polystyrene microspheres as nonlinear medium with both branches of the hysteretic curve being stable, in contrast to the results of previous experiments.
