摘要：

Under suitable conditions, the boundary between a linear and a nonlinear (Kerr effect) medium should have a reflection coefficient which exhibits hysteresis as a function of optical intensity. We present the first experimental evidence of this effect. Experiments were performed using ∼1-ns ruby laser pulses incident on a glass-CS2 boundary.
