Abstract
The effect of external noise of different spectral distributions on the dynamic behaviour of an intrinsic optical bistable device is studied. Our experiments are performed under absorptive conditions in a sodium-filled nonlinear Fabry-Perot in the bad cavity limit. Alternatively, a bistable electronic circuit (Schmitt trigger) is shown to exhibit the same type of noise phenomena while admitting more detailed investigations.
