We present an approximate analytical solution to periodically driven two-level system in the weak-coupling regime. The analytical solution is in good agreement with the exact numerical solution in resonance and near resonance cases when Ω ≤ 0.3 ω a with Ω and ω a denoting the Rabi and transition frequencies respectively.
We present a simple but highly efficient iterating approach for strong-coupling periodically driven two-level systems. The obtained explicit approximating analytical solution reproduces accurately the exact numerical solution in the strong-coupling regime for a wide frequency range including resonance, far-off resonance, harmonic, and subharmonic cases. Our theory is suitable for single- and multi-period periodic driving and for the periodic driving with a few-cycle pulse as well, and it gives a general formula for calculating the strong-field ac Stark effect in such diverse situations.
We have deduced analytical solutions of an energy level diagram of the doubly driven/dressed atom for a two-level atom exposed to a strong near-resonant bichromatic laser field in a special case, i.e., the bichromatic field with frequencies ω 1 and ω 2 , and Rabi frequencies Ω 1 and Ω 2 , in which the first coupling field of Ω 1 acts on the bare atomic levels, and then the resulting singly dressed states are driven by the second coupling field of Ω 2 , thus resulting in the doubly dressed atom. We have measured the probe absorption spectra of a doubly driven two-level atom. The system consists of 5 2 S 1 / 2 , F = 2 and 5 2 P 3 / 2 , F ′ = 3 states of 87 Rb atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) as well as the cooling/trapping beams and an additional coupling field. As for the spectroscopic properties of the doubly driven two-level atom, theoretical analytical solutions are in general agreement with the experimental spectrum as a whole.
