Time-dependent bifurcation and dynamical behaviors of the absorptive optical bistability equation

Time-dependent bifurcation and dynamical behaviors of the absorptive optica l bistability equation are investigated systematically from the point of vi ew of vector field. Internal relations for delayed bifurcation transitions are discussed. When the input optic field is constant,the existence of opti cal bistability and the phenomenon of critical slowing down are analyzed th rough a new way. When the input optic field is varied slowly with time line arly or periodically,different scaling relations are given by scaling balan ces. When the amplitude or frequency of the input optic field is varied slo wly and linearly with time,the bifurcation and dynamical behaviors for the time-dependent system of bistability are also studied. A new strange atract or is revealed..
