Abstract
The optical properties of nonlinear colloidal crystals in a distribute d feedback configuration have been studied experimentally. Optical swi tching and bistability, optical limiting, and temporal instabilities h ave been observed in the transmission of these structures. The results of these experiments are compared to the theoretical predictions for the transmission properties of nonlinear periodic structures.
