  • Abstract
    Through detailed computational experiments, and an analytical model, we predict optical bistability behavior at few tens of mWs in axially modulated OmniGuide fibers, using instantaneous Kerr nonlinearity. We solve the full non-linear Maxwell´s equations numerically (with minimal physical approximations) to demonstrate optical bistability in a photonic crystal (PC) fiber-device.
