Low power transverse optical bistability near bound excitons in cadmium sulfide

We report the observation of cw transverse optical bistability without power hysteresis at 1‐mW power levels in uncoated cadmium sulfide platelets. Optically induced refractive index changes as large as 0.15 are deduced from measurements of the transverse spatial ring profile.
