In this paper, the optical switching and bistability of a Fabry-Perot interferometer filled with plasma are studied theoretically. In the plane-wave approximation a equilibrium state equation which shows nonlinear transmission-intensity characteristic is derived. The critical detuning and the general formulae of "on " and "off" intensities for bistable operation are presented. A numerical example is given.
