Abstract
The behavior of a collection of atoms that are strongly coupled to a r esonant cavity is numerically studied. Atoms and mode are coupled to i ndividual heat baths. The mode is coupled to a classical driving field . The system exhibits interesting properties like optical bistability and nonclassical photon counting statistics.
