Abstract
We demonstrate optical bistability (OB) in a defect slab doped V-type four-level InGaN/GaN quantum dot
nanostructure in the negative refraction frequency band. In this article, will be shown that the OB behavior
of such a quantum dot nanostructure system can be controlled by the amplitude of the driving fields and a
new parameter for controlling the OB behavior as thickness of the slab medium in the negative refraction
band. Meanwhile, we show that the negative refraction frequency band can be controlled by tuning electric
permittivity and magnetic permeability by the amplitude of the driving fields and electron concentration in the
defect slab doped. Under the numerical simulations, due to the effect of quantum coherence and interference it
is possible to switch bistability by adjusting the optimal conditions in the negative refraction frequency band
which is more practical in all-optical switching or coding elements and technology based nanoscale devices.
