Dynamic theory of an optical transistor

Paul Mandel
- 01 Nov 1985 - 
- Vol. 56, Iss: 1, pp 53-56
TLDR
In this paper, the authors derived analytically for purely dispersive optical bistability in the bad cavity case, where the modulation can be applied to the holding beam, to the refraction index or to the detuning with similar results for the output field intensity.

Studies on the effect of addition of silver ions on the direct oxidation of pyrite

TL;DR: In this paper, the nature of the reaction between Ag+ and pyrite in 0.25 M H2SO4 solutions has been investigated in order to determine whether Ag+ can enhance the ferric sulfate leaching of this mineral.

Photorefractive circuitry and optical transistors

TL;DR: Using an electronics-like point of view on the photorefractive optical circuits, a model of optical transistor is proposed, based on the operation of photore-fractive ring oscillators as discussed by the authors.

The European Joint Optical Bistability Project

TL;DR: It was predicted in the proposal that the devices arising would provide a set of all-optical circuit elements which could in some way demonstrate a primitive optical digital computational device, and it was a condition that such a device should be demonstrated before the end of the project pending the withholding of 20% of the funds.

Dynamic gain of an optical transistor

TL;DR: In this paper, the gain of an optical transistor (OT) made of a semiconductor in a low finesse cavity was studied. But the performance was not analyzed in terms of the number of transistors in the cavity.

Theory of Optical Bistability

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a c-w laser beam which is injected into a resonant cavity tuned or nearly tuned to the incident light, where the incident beam is partially transmitted, partially reflected and partially scattered by the cavity.

Nonlinear stability of an optical transistor

TL;DR: In this article, a linear static and nonlinear dynamic stability analysis of an optical transistor with high differential gain is performed to show that high differential gains are associated with critical slowing down.

Switching pulses for an optical transistor

Paul Mandel
TL;DR: In this article, the characteristics of a rectangular pulse used to switch an optical transistor were studied and three regimes appeared: low intensity pulses, high intensity pulses and holding intensity near the transition region, the only constraint is on the pulse area and not on its duration or intensity separately.
