note = "Funding Information: We have performed quantitative experi mental confirmation using a thin-film of nematic liquid crystal. For an identical set of parameters (zi,z2,R, n2), we have observed a switching curve as shown in Fig. TuEE5-3. By monitoring the intensity slightly off axis, we have observed bistability in the reverse switching [c.f. Fig. TuBE5-3 (bottom)]. In general, we have obtained good agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental results. The theory presented here is generally applicable for nonlinear thin film. (12 min.)
