All-optical wavelength division multiplexing amplifier based on vacuum induced nonreciprocal bistability in six-wave mixing process with a ring cavity

In this article, we experimentally investigate the nonreciprocal bistability (NB) of two six-wave mixing (SWM) processes inside of a ring cavity with a five-level rubidium atomic cell. The degree of NB can be analyzed by the nonreciprocal area (or non-overlapping area) including the frequency offset...
