摘要
In a GaAs quantum well waveguide coupled by orthogonally polarized optical fields, the influence of spin coherence on the optical bistability (OB) and multistability is investigated. It is shown that OB and multistability are very sensitive to the relative phase between applied fields. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America
