Abstract
We demonstrate optical bistability in a silicon waveguide Fabry–Pérot
resonator formed by a pair of distributed Bragg reflectors. In the bistable
regime, the output power of the resonator ceases to be uniquely determined
by the input power because multiple powers within the cavity satisfy the resonance
condition. Pulsating behavior is observed within the resonator output, and
is attributed to noise within the experimental setup driving the resonator
between the multiple allowed output powers.
