Transverse optical effects in bistable active cavity with nonlinear absorber on bacteriorhodopsin

Spatio-temporal effects of thresholding and switching are investigated theoretically and experimentally in bistable single- and multimode cavities containing two nonlinear elements: photochromic absorber on bacteriorhodospin controlled by bleaching and coloring external beams and amplifier on organic dye pumped by periodic laser pulses.
