We study the evolution of an inverted spin ensemble coupled to a cavity. The inversion itself presents an inherent instability of the system; however, the inhomogeneous broadening of spin-resonance frequencies presents a stabilizing mechanism, and a stability criterion is derived. The detailed behavior of mean values and variances of the spin components and of the cavity field is accounted for under both stable and unstable conditions.
