(color online) (a) The effective potential U(X) as a function of the position X for different left pump power as P_L = 0.1 mW, 0.53 mW, and 1.0 mW. The cavity–pump detuning Δ_c is equal to 0.2ω_m and P_R = 0.11 mW. (b) The bistable behavior of X as a function of the left pump power P_L. The parameters used are similar to those in panel (a).
