    Area of Science:

    • Quantum Optics
    • Nonlinear Optics
    • Atomic Physics

    Background:

    • Optical bistability (OB) is a key phenomenon in nonlinear optics, crucial for optical switching and memory.
    • Traditional OB typically relies on power scanning, limiting its sensitivity and tunability.
    • Parametrically amplified processes offer new avenues for controlling optical phenomena.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the nonreciprocity "∞"-shape optical bistability (OB) induced by a feedback dressing effect.
    • To demonstrate a novel OB phenomenon scanned by probe frequency, distinct from power-scanning methods.
    • To explore the tunability and enhanced sensitivity of this new OB phenomenon.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing a four-level atomic system with a six-wave mixing process.
    • Implementing a feedback dressing effect to induce "∞"-shape OB.
    • Scanning probe frequency to observe the non-overlapping region characteristic of the OB.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated "∞"-shape non-overlapping regions in both frequency and intensity differences.
    • Showcased that the degree of OB can be tuned by adjusting feedback dressing intensity.
    • Identified control parameters for feedback intensity, including external dressing powers and phase shifts.

    Conclusions:

    • The nonreciprocity "∞"-shape OB exhibits greater sensitivity and multiplicity than traditional OB.
    • This phenomenon holds potential for applications in advanced logic-gate devices.
    • The findings contribute to the development of quantum information processing technologies.
