Q Function for a Single-Atom Laser Operating in the “Classical” Regime

Abstract

Abstract A model of single-atom laser with incoherent pumping is investigated theoretically. In the stationary case, a linear homogeneous differential equation for the phase-averaged Husimi Q function is derived from the equation for the density operator of the system. In the regime in which the coupling of the cavity mode with an atom is much stronger than the coupling of the mode with the reservoir ensuring its damping, the asymptotic solution is obtained to this equation. This solution makes it possible to describe some statistical features of the single-atom laser (in particular, the weak sub-Poissonian photon statistics).

Behavior of a Single-Atom Laser in the Sub-Poissonian Regime

Ларионов Николай Владимирович

In the present work the model of a single-atom laser generating in the regime when incoherent pumping rate coincides with the cavity decay rate is theoretically investigated. Using the stationary equation for phase averaged Glauber P function the analytical expressions for mean number of photons and its dispersion are obtained. In the limiting case of the strong-coupling regime the exact expression for the photon number distribution function is derived. Obtained results describe the sub-Poissonian photon statistics and show an increase in mean number of photons to non-zero value when the pumping tends to zero.

Glauber-Sudarshan P function for a single-emitter laser

A.V. Vikentyev, V. Yu. Goryainov, Ларионов Николай Владимирович

We consider the model of a single-emitter laser: an incoherently pumped single two-level system interacting with a single cavity mode of finite finesse. In the stationary regime using normally-ordered diagonal representation of the density matrix over the coherent states we derive equation for the phase-averaged Glauber-Sudarshan P function. In the strong-coupling regime between atom and cavity mode the asymptotic solution of this equation is obtained. This solution is a linear combination of two basis solutions. We analyze one of them which was ignored in previous work without any discussions.

Sub-Poissonian radiation of a one-atom two-level laser with incoherent pumping

A. V. Kozlovskiĭ, А. Н. Ораевский

The quantum statistical properties of the radiation of a one-atom two-level laser with incoherent pumping are analyzed. Solution of the Liouville equation for the density operator in the basis of Fock states shows that stationary radiation from a single-mode laser with incoherent pumping can be in a squeezed (sub-Poissonian) stationary state if the rate of spontaneous decay is lower than the rate of cavity losses and the pump rate. Inside the cavity the Fano factor reaches F =0.85 (15% squeezing). Multiple squeezing ( F =0.19) is possible in the transient lasing regime. Significant squeezing obtains at the cavity output; the spectral Fano factor at zero frequency is 0.36 under optimal conditions.

Sub-Poissonian single-emitter laser: Coherent pump vs incoherent

Ларионов Николай Владимирович, Ilya V. Safonov

We theoretically investigate the properties of a single-emitter laser with coherent pump: two-level atom interacting with a single damping cavity mode which is resonantly excited by a coherent field. With the help of numerical simulation of the master equation we show that such pumping mechanism is more preferably than incoherent pump for achieving of sub-Poissonian photon statistics.

Photon Statistics of the Three-level One-atom Laser

Thomas Pellizzari, Helmut Ritsch

We investigate the transient and the steady-state behaviour of the photon statistics of a single-atom laser, consisting of a three-level Λ system, driven by an incoherent external pump field and strongly coupled to a single mode of an optical cavity. For several limiting cases we are able to obtain analytical results. A comparison with standard multi-atom laser theory reveals a surprisingly good agreement down to very small intracavity photon numbers. Under appropriate operating conditions a calculation of the second-order intensity correlation function yields sub-Poissonian statistics as well as strong antibunching induced by the nonlinear dynamics of the atom.

Glauber-Sudarshan P function in the model of a single-emitter laser generating in strong coupling regime

Evgenij N. Popov, Ларионов Николай Владимирович

Using the master equation approach, we investigate the stationary regime of a single-emitter laser: an incoherently pumped single two-level system interacting with a single cavity mode of finite finesse. We analyze the closed equation for the phase-averaged Glauber-Sudarshan P function and obtain its approximate solution. This solution has some advantages over the previous results. In particular, it describes conversion from the classical-like probability distribution to the oscillating quasi-probability when transition from weak- to strong-coupling regime takes place.
