Abstract :
We study the influence of a small periodic modulation of the input field amplitude in dispersive optical bistability. When the system is initially near one of the two limit points in a stable state, the addition of a small periodic modulation may either stabilize or destabilize the system. We prove that destabilization occurs as a result of critical slowing down when the modulation frequency is decreased.
