Abstract
We have observed optical bistability caused by absorption-induced thermal expansion of mirrors forming a Fabry–Perot interferometer. From the resulting anomalous transmission line shapes, absorption coefficients of the mirror coatings as low as 0.2parts in 106 (ppm) have been successfully measured.
