Transverse structure of a field in nonlinear bistable interferometers. I. Switching waves and steady-state profiles

N. N. Rosanov, V. E. Semenov, G. V. Khodova


Abstract: An analysis is made of switching waves, transverse structure, and field profile hysteresis in nonlinear bistable interferometers. It is shown that a switching wave of zero velocity exists in the hysteresis region and this wave governs the steady-state profile of a beam in an interferometer. The case of oblique incidence of light on an interferometer is considered.
