摘要
We investigate the magnetically nonlinear optical transmission of the Fabry-Perot resonator filled with an antiferromagnetic medium. In a proper incident power range, we find very large nonlinear phase shifts so that the bistable switches appear even for a very thin medium film, such as of half-wavelength thickness. All results are based on antiferromagnetic MnF(2) medium with far-infrared resonant frequencies.
