The principle of bistable operation with two independent input optical beams is presented. The nonlinear medium inside a Fabry-Perot resonator is in two-photon resonance with the beams. The steady-state transmission characteristics of the bistable device are derived in the absorptive and the dispersive regimes. One has an active control over the switching intensities through the second beam.
