“…To get more detailed insights into the system dynamics, we use the standard procedure of adiabatic elimination of selected dynamical variables [4,39,40]. Taking into account that γ κ, γ ⊥ , Ω, we expect that all long-lived processes occur on time scales of the order of 1/γ .…”

“…The phenomenon of optical bistability has been extensively analyzed and experimentally realized in various systems exhibiting driven-dissipative phase transitions such as a laser with a saturable absorber [1], resonant cavities of different shapes filled with two-level atoms [2][3][4][5] or an interferometer with a nonlinear absorber [6] driven by the coherent incident field -to name just a few examples (see also [7] for a review). In all of these systems, the incident field was either on resonance or close to resonance with the cavity field -the two different cases referred to, respectively, as absorptive or dispersive optical bistability.…”

We present a theoretical study on the nonlinear dynamics and stationary states of an inhomogeneously broadened spin ensemble coupled to a single-mode cavity driven by an external drive with constant amplitude. Assuming a sizeable number of constituents within the ensemble allows us to use a semiclassical approach and to formally reduce the theoretical description to the Maxwell-Bloch equations for the cavity and spin amplitudes. We explore the critical slowing-down effect, quench dynamics, and asymptotic behavior of the system near a steady-state dissipative phase transition accompanied by a bistability effect. Some of our theoretical findings have recently been successfully verified in a specific experimental realization based on a spin ensemble of negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond strongly coupled to a single-mode microwave cavity (see Science Adv. 3, e1701626 (2017)).
