摘要：
A polished fiber half coupler with a nematic liquid crystal as a multimode planar waveguide overlay has been investigated. Experimental results show an existence of optical bistability with contrast similar to 40% for laser power similar to 340mW at lambda=514nm. Observation of the optical bistability is explained as a result of an optically induced reorientational effect in a liquid crystalline layer.
