Abstract

The optical bistability (OB) in a quantum dot (QD) system with four cascade energy levels by two coupling field inside unidirectional ring cavity is theoretically investigated. It is shown that the OB behavior can be controlled by suitable adjusting the system parameters such as the electronic cooperation parameter, the probe laser frequency detuning, the two coupling laser field and frequency detuning, and the decay rate. Such a system may be used in optical switching and other quantum information science..
