The conditions in which a signal beam can be switched on and off by positive pulses in the steady state regime are described for cavities filled with Kerr media having a long diffusion length.application/pdfenIn Copyrightoptical bistabilitydevicepolarizationArticle - Refereedhttp://www.opticsinfobase.org/ao/abstract.cfm?URI=ao-30-18-2437https://doi.org/10.1364/AO.30.002437
