Abstract
Absorptive optical bistability with a Gaussian amplitude fluctuation of the injected signal is investigated. In the limit of large laser linewidth and good stabilization of the amplitude fluctuations, a Fokker-Planck equation for absorptive optical bistability is derived. The stationary probability distribution is derived and its properties are discussed.Keywords
