摘要
We investigate the theory of a nonlinear magneto-optic Fabry-Perot interferometer, filled with an isotropic dielectric that possesses Linear and nonlinear artificial gyrotropy. We show that the nonreciprocity leads to specific multistable transmission patterns and, in particular, to a polarization controlled multistability at constant input intensity. We also show that the reciprocity of the cavity can be restored effectively for certain parameter regimes. [S0031-9007(99)08486-0].
