Impact of dispersive and saturable gain/loss on bistability of nonlinear parity-time Bragg gratings
We report on the impact of realistic gain and loss models on the bistable operation of nonlinear parity–time (PT) Bragg gratings. In our model we include both dispersive and saturable gain and show that levels of gain/loss saturation can have a significant impact on the bistable operation of a nonli...
