We study a dynamical phase transition in optical bistable systems subject toa time-periodic driving field. The phase transition occurs in the structure oflimit cycle as a function of the frequency of the driving field. In thethermodynamic limit, a single limit cycle is divided into two separated limitcycles at the transition point. In finite-size systems, however, there isalways a single limit cycle due to the quantum tunneling effect. We use aFloquet dissipative map, which is a time-evolution operator over one period ina dynamics given by a quantum master equation, and discuss the decay rate ofrelaxation dynamics into the limit cycle based on the dominant eigenvalue ofthe map. We found that the decay rate exhibits qualitatively differentsystem-size dependence before and after the phase transition, and it shows afinite-size scaling of spinodal phenomena around the transition point. Thepresent work provides a systematic way of studying dynamical phase transitionobserved in time-periodically driven open systems in terms of the Floquetdissipative map.
