In this paper, the optical bistability in two-photon resonance media is discussed theoretically. The steady-state behavior in both the cases of two-photon far- and near-resonance, and the transient behavior in the case of two-photon near-resonance are analysed. The two-photon vector model is established and applied to the analyses. The corresponding characteristic curves in sodium vapour are given based or the result of numerical calculation.
