Phys. Rev. A 67, 023816 (2003) [12 pages]Bistability of liquid crystal microcavitiesReceived 4 October 2002; published 28 February 2003 We develop a model of a liquid crystal Fabry-Pérot microcavity. We study the homeotropic and the hybrid cavity configurations and show that both are multistable. Moreover, in the hybrid case a branch of solutions disconnected from the zero field solution exists. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
