Abstract
In this paper we investigate the optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) behaviors
in a unidirectional ring cavity filled with diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect centers driven
by an elliptically polarized probe field in the presence of magnetic field and compare its
properties with the corresponding closed system. Our numerical result reveal that threshold of
optical bistability and the width of hysteresis loop can be manipulated by adjusting the phase
difference between the two circularly polarized components of a single coherent field and cavity
parameters, i.e. the electronic exit rate from cavity and electron injection rates. Also it is shown
that OB and OM are very sensitive to the relative phase between applied fields and magnetic
field. It can be realized that by tuning the parameters the transition
from bistability to multistability or vice versa can be obtained.
