TL;DR: In this article, a very interesting nonlinear optical material is presented, which consists of an aqueous polystyrene microspheres suspension, called "latex" and is used for optical bistable devices.
Abstract: Nonlinearity interfaces, i.e. those between an ordinary dielectric and a dielectric material with an intensity-dependent index of refraction, have recently played an important role as an element in optical bistable devices 1,3. The efforts of researchers are aimed at finding non linear materials with particular optical properties in order to fit very stringent requirements. A very interesting nonlinear optical material is “latex” which consists of an aqueous polystyrene microspheres suspension4.
