The theory of optical bistability can be developed at various levels of sophistication.(1) In this overview I have chosen an approach which I hope will make the simplicity and generality of the phenomenon clear, and be suited to the emphasis of this meeting. I will describe a deterministic, semiclassical theory of optical bistability, based on coupled Maxwell-Bloch equations. Statistical and quantum statistical theories will not be included. I also limit my attention to questions concerning steady states and their stability, leaving the theory of higher bifurcations to other speakers.
