Abstract

In this paper we present a theoretical analysis on the effects of increasing absorption and amplification of light in the semiconductor optical bistable system, though the results may be available to a class of excitonic OBS. The Heisenberg equations for the motion of excitons and lightfield modes are deduced. By theoretical analyzing and numerical computing, we study the conditions and characteristics of bistability and lasing. The results how that the system displays different bistabilities depending on the relative intensities of varied interactions, a novel hysteresis loop appears even in the lasing region, thought eh increasing absorption restricts the lasing effect.
