| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Stochastic resonance (SR) is widely observed in nonlinear bistable systems with noise and a weak sinusoidal signal. A liquid crystal light valve (LCLV) with optical feedback, which shows an optical bistable property. Then, we have tried to observe the SR in this system.
Firstly, the optical circuit to observe the SR was constructed. The light coming from the reading side of the LCLV is fed back to the writing side by an optical fiber. The amplitude of driving voltage was modified by the weak sinusoidal signal with noise. The state of director in the LCLV, was measured by a photomultiplier. To avoid spatial inhomogeneity, a pinhole was used
The internal time scale of a system affects the appearance of SR. To clarify the relationship between the relaxation time of the director and the appearance of SR, we added colored noises. Under suitable conditions, the SR was confirmed which agrees a numerical simulation.
