Abstract
Optical bistability and differential amplification, arising as a conse quence of the nonlinear Kerr effect in fiber resonators, are considere d in the present paper. A structure-independent transfer matrix method devised for linear operation is extended to account for nonlinear sel f-phase effects. General expressions are presented and applied to part icular cases showing complete agreement with previously published resu lts.
