Abstract
A photonic crystal waveguide-cavity structure with a partially reflecting element is exploited to achieve optical bistability. Analysis of the theoretical model and validation of the numerical simulation indicate that this structure shows an asymmetrical lineshape and a novel switching characteristic, with the nonlinear transmission power varying sharply in a very narrow linewidth range. The characteristic power can be decreased from
