Abstract

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is applied to investigate the characteristics of nonlinear Fabry-Perot (FP) resonators in optical waveguide geometries. Our treatment, which is the extension of Tran's method developed to analyse the characteristics of nonlinear photonic crystals, correctly reproduces analytical results on optical bistabilities of the FP resonator provided by Chen and Mills in 1987. It is found that the minimum power required for optical bistabilities is significantry decreased by adopting the optical waveguide geometry, compared with the case of Chen and Mills, i.e., a conventional nonlinear FP interferometer.
