Abstract
Tunneling times for absorptive optical bistability with a squeezed vacuum as input to the cavity are calculated. Using a squeezed input field to reduce the fluctuations in the critical quadrature, we show that the tunneling times may be increased. This may substantially improve the intrinsic stability of the device.Keywords
