Abstract

We study the scattering problem of photon and polariton in a one-dimensional coupled-cavity system. Analytical approximate analysis and numerical simulation show that a photon can stimulate the photon emission from a polariton through polariton-photon collisions. This observation opens the possibility of photon-stimulated transition from insulating to radiative phase in a coupled-cavity QED system. Inversely, we also find that a polariton can be generated by a two-photon Raman scattering process. This paves the way towards single photon storage by the aid of atom-cavity interaction.

Spontaneous scattering of Raman photons from cavity-QED systems in the ultrastrong coupling regime

Vincenzo Macrí, Alberto Mercurio, Franco Nori +2 more

We show that spontaneous Raman scattering of incident radiation can be observed in cavity-QED systems without external enhancement or coupling to any vibrational degree of freedom. Raman scattering processes can be evidenced as resonances in the emission spectrum, which become clearly visible as the cavity-QED system approaches the ultrastrong coupling regime. We provide a quantum mechanical description of the effect, and show that ultrastrong light-matter coupling is a necessary condition for the observation of Raman scattering. This effect, and its strong sensitivity to the system parameters, opens new avenues for the characterization of cavity QED setups and the generation of quantum states of light

Cavity-QED simulation of qubit-oscillator dynamics in the ultrastrong-coupling regime

Arne L. Grimsmo, A. S. Parkins

We propose a quantum simulation of a two-level atom coupled to a single mode of the electromagnetic field in the ultrastrong-coupling regime based upon resonant Raman transitions in an atom interacting with a high finesse optical cavity mode. We show by numerical simulation the possibility of realizing the scheme with a single rubidium atom, in which two hyperfine ground states make up the effective two-level system, and for cavity QED parameters that should be achievable with, for example, microtoroidal whispering-gallery-mode resonators. Our system also enables simulation of a generalized model in which a nonlinear coupling between the atomic inversion and the cavity photon number occurs on an equal footing with the (ultrastrong) dipole coupling and can give rise to critical-type behavior even at the single-atom level. Our model takes account of dissipation, and we pay particular attention to observables that would be readily observable in the output from the system.

Mutual cooperative effects between the mode components of two-photon and Raman induced cavity lasing processes

N. A. Enaki

The paper proposes to unify the two-photon laser and induced cooperative scattering Raman lasing in which the flying ensemble of two-level excited radiators are coupled with the bimodal cavity field in nonlinear two-photon and scattering interactions. It discusses the situation in which the induced two-quantum lasing takes place together with the cooperative scattering conversion of photons between the pump, Stokes, and anti-Stokes cavity modes. The proposed master equation describes cooperative energy exchanges between Raman and two-photon lasing processes by portions of energies multiple to the energy of the entangled photon pair. The generators of such emission and absorption processes belonging to the symmetries of Raman conversion and two-photon cooperative generation are unified. The first symmetry belongs to su(2) algebra connected to the scattering conversion in the Stokes, pump, and anti-Stokes modes of cavity (Opt. Commun.,285(5) (2012) 686–692). The second one belongs to multi-mode su(1,1) symmetry which quantifies the cooperative process belonging to two-photon emission in cavity/fiber mode components of field (see Opt. Commun. 247(4–6) (2005) 381–392). The bimodal collective photon operators are introduced describing the emission or absorption acts of the fixed portion of energy from the cavity equal to the transition energy between the states of each excited atom. A key impact of the study focuses on the statistical properties of the bimodal field and their detection possibilities are proposed for the description of the time evolution of quantum correlations between the field components of Raman conversion and two-photon emission.

Effects of Dipole Interaction on Emission Spectra of Atoms in Two-Photon Processes

Zhenfei Luo, Zhizhan Xu, Lei Xu

We study the interaction of a pair of coupling two-level atoms with a single mode of the radiation field in an ideal cavity via two-photon resonant transition and/or degenerate Raman coupled processes. In particular, we consider the emission spectra for both two-photon processes. The effects of atomic coupling are analyzed and the properties of emission spectra for large photon number of the cavity-mode are discussed.

Generation of Raman polaritons in three-level atomic media

Igor O. Barinov, Alexei V. Prokhorov, A. P. Alodjants +1 more

A theory of formation of Stokes field (Raman) polaritons, which arise due to the coherent stimulated Raman scattering of light in an ensemble of three-level atoms placed in a Fabry-Perot cavity in the case of a strong coupling regime, is developed. The dispersion and absorption properties of Raman polaritons are investigated and the conditions for polariton amplification are found. It is shown that for certain pump power values, nonclassical correlations (entanglement) between light and dark polaritons are observed in the system.
