(color online) Mean intracavity photon number of (a) the left cavity and (b) the right cavity as a function of the cavity–pump detuning for the left pump power P_L = 0.1, 0.35, and 0.65 mW. The right pump power is equal to 0.11 mW. (c) Mean intracavity photon number n₁ versus the cavity–pump detuning Δ_c for different right pump power P_R = 0.11, 0.21, and 0.31 mW. The left pump power is fixed as 0.65 mW.
