Abstract

Based on a solution of the stationary modified Bloch equations, an investigation is made of the influence of the effect of internal optical bistability (IOB) on the behavior of the refractive index of a dense resonance medium as a function of the constant b of close‐range dipole‐dipole interactions, frequency detuning, and the intensity of optical radiation. The conditions of existence of the IOB effect of the system dense resonance medium + optical radiation are found and the dynamics of the loop width of the hysteresis dependence of the population difference of the resonance levels of the medium on the characteristics of the system is traced. The domains of the parameters are determined in which the effects of self‐focusing and self‐defocusing of the radiation propagating in a dense resonance medium can take place.
