Control of optical bistability and third-order nonlinearity via tunneling induced quantum interference in triangular quantum dot molecules

The optical bistability of a triangular quantum dot molecules embedded inside a unidirectional ring cavity is studied. The type, the threshold and the hysteresis loop of the optical bistability curves can be modified by the tunneling parameters, as well as the probe laser field. The linear and nonli...
