Multistability and high reflectance of a mono-layer of three-level quantum emitters with a doublet in the excited state

We study theoretically the nonlinear optical response of a mono-layer of three-level quantum emitters with a doublet in the excited state. It is shown that the layer’s response exhibits multistability. In a certain frequency range, the monolayer operates as a perfect bistable mirror.
