Description
The phenomenon of optical bistability is studied for the three-level atomic system in V-configuration confined in a unidirectional optical ring cavity, and the effects of quantum interference and coupling field are investigated. The possibility of obtaining optical multistability in the system by controlling quantum interference and coupling field strength is also discussed
