Multistability at microwave frequencies
Abstract
The behavior of a Fabry-Perot microwave resonator, filled with a two-level absorber and fed by several e.m. waves of frequencies close to the absorber resonance, is investigated. The transmission as a function of the incident fields exhibits multistability. Tristability has been experimentally observed by using ammonia as the saturable absorber and by feeding the resonator with a modulated wave.
