Optical bistability in photorefractive strontium barium niobate in a two-wave mixing configuration with feedback is reported. We observe bistability both under conditions for which its existence was recently predicted by Zozulya et al. [ Opt. Commun.72, 381 ( 1989)] and under more general conditions.
