ABSTRACT:
A light control substance having a negative input-output characteristic is used to invert optical signals. The light control substance is an absorbing substance and has a multi-level energy structure such that ground state absorption occurs between a ground level and a level higher than the ground level and excited state absorption occurs between an excited level and a level higher than the excited level. At a specific wavelength, a variation .DELTA.Iout in the intensity of output light and a variation .DELTA.Iin in the intensity of input light satisfy the following equations:
