Bistable output-input light characteristics in the exciton spectral region have been examined in a ring cavity configuration taking ito account the influence of the presence of free carriers in the cavity as well as of the density-dependence of the exciton damping. The resulting modifications could serve as a means to optimize the optical bistable device operation.
