Exact results on optical bistability with surface plasmons in layered media. Academic Article

abstract

• Optical bistability with surface plasmons in layered structures on a nonlinear substrate is studied using Leungs exact results for the nonlinear p-polarized surface waves. Explicit results for the bistable behavior of the reflected field are given for two different geometries involving excitation of short-range and long-range surface plasmons. The excitation of long-range plasmons results in a much lower bistability threshold. 1986 The American Physical Society.
