Optical bistability induced by spin-orbit coupling in the carbon-nanotube quantum dots
Abstract:
We theoretically investigate steady-state behaviors of carbon nanotube quantum dots with spin-orbit coupling in a unidirectional ring cavity. Our results show that the spin-orbit coupling can induce optical bistability. In addition to the existence of spin-orbit coupling, switching optical bistability to optical multistability or vice versa is realized by adjusting detuning of the probe field. Our results show that the carbon nanotube quantum dots will possibly be a promising candidate for realizing all-optical switching.

Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
