Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The steady-state behavior in a unidirectional cavity has been analyzed by taking into account the effect of phase fluctuation in the control field based on a Λ-type atomic model. It is shown that even if both fields are in resonance with the corresponding atomic transitions, optical bistability can still be realized due to a phase fluctuation in the control field. Furthermore, the bistable hysteresis loop becomes wider as the linewidth increases.
