Theoretical analysis of bistable reflections from nonlinear composite materials

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The bistable reflections from passive, two-component nonlinear composite materials are analyzed theoretically. Transport theory is used to model the propagation of the fluxes and the scattering processes inside the media. A perturbative stability analysis of the system is performed. The steady-state and stability characteristics of the system are examined both theoretically and numerically. Particular attention is paid to the conditions under which the composite material bleaches.
