摘要
The nonlinear frustrated-total-reflection filter is proposed as a remarkably simple all-optical computing element. Potential advantages of this device over nonlinear prism couplers and nonlinear thin films are presented. Optical bistability is experimentally demonstrated by using a liquid crystal as an optically nonlinear material.
