Abstract

We report the observation of optical bistability with nanosecond optical switching in the lead chalcogenide semiconductor Pb_1-xSn _xSe. The observed refractive optical nonlinearities were generated by the absorption of radiation from a pulsed CO₂ laser at incident intensities of 80 kW cm^-2.
