Abstract
The intensity-dependent transmission characteristics of an Ag+ <-- --> Na+ ion-exchanged glass waveguide with a nematic liquid crystal MBBA cover have been investigated experimentally using an Ar+ laser. It is found that the transmission characteristics of the TE1 mode are strong ly influenced by temperature. Optical bistability has been observed at a particular temperature. Such the strong temperature dependence is b elieved to be brought by an increase in ordinary refractive index of t he MBBA cover due to temperature rise.
