Abstract

We have experimentally observed thermally induced optical bistability in Cr: LiSGaF laser and studied the dynamics of switching between two stable states of laser emission. It has been shown that both the size of the hysteresis loop and the rate of switching increase with the increase of the rate of the pumping power sweep R [W/s]. The delay in the switching power and the rate of switching have been found to change proportionally to R2/3.
