Abstract

Nonperturbative theoretical analysis of the temporal evolution of a spontaneous photon with atomic frequency ωa, emitted by a motionless two-level atom in a one-dimensional high-finesse nanocavity into a single resonance decaying mode, is presented. The explicit solution of the Schrödinger equation was found in an interaction picture with use of the Green functions technique. It has been assumed that emission leaks out of the empty cavity by exponential law at rate Γ, which is a function of coupling constant g, distance between the mirrors, penetrability coefficient of the left mirror, and the velocity of light. The stationary superpositional co-phased structure of two photons with the same profiles and average frequencies 1/2(ωa ± g), quenched with continuum of final photonics states, has been revealed. The profile of this structure has been found to have the form Γt exp(−Γt/4) with maximum attained for Γ/4g = 0.05 and average photon cavity lifetime equal to 4lnΓ/ Γ.

The expressions and plots of emission spectral densities probabilities together with photon emission probability dynamics as functions of time for various ratios Γ/4g. For Γ/4g<1 the transient emission spectrum reveals the presence of two symmetrical side-bands and the central peak interconnected with each other in the area of interaction with the atom. Since the central component oscillates, decaying simultaneously in time at two rates infinity Γ/2 and ~ Γ/4, in the area of interaction the emission is a triplet with satellites oscillating in the interaction area and being stable outside of it. So the final spectrum is a doublet outside of nanocavity. On the contrary for Γ/4g ≥1 the spectrum is a singlet, and the emission occurs in exponentially decaying way.

Generation of the "entangled photons" by excited two-level supercold atom in the high-finesse nanocavity with single decaying resonance mode

Vladislav Cheltsov

The exact theory of generating the "entangled photons" by excited motionless two level atom in one-dimensional high finesse nanocavity with a single resonance linearly polarized mode, decaying at the rate Γ, is presented. We have investigated the evolution of resonance emission out of the macromolecule-like system "nanocavity with resonance mode and excited atom" in area 0≤ Γ≤ 0.2g , where g is a coupling constant for electro-dipolar interaction. We have revealed that the source of arising of the entangled photons at the outlet of nanocavity is disintegration of metastable interference superpositional field structure, ejected through the partly transparent mirror out of the cavity. This structure is produced by the self-consistent AC Stark effect, created by electrical fields of rotating atomic dipole and resonance mode. The field splits atomic levels and radiation transitions between them, producing in the nanocavity pairs of anti-phase (ωa ± g)- photons. Since the rate of mode damping Γ << g these photons form in the cavity metastable interference superposional structure consisting of resonance mode carring wave with amplitude modulated with frequency 2g. The profiles of (ωa ± g )- components have identical form exp(-t Γ)t Γ, with average lifetime in the cavity being estimated as 4ln Γ/Γ.

Spectral properties and nonlinear dynamics of spontaneous emission of a resonance photon by two-level atom trapped in damped nanocavity with a resonance mode

Vladislav Cheltsov

The time-dependent spectral properties and nonlinear dynamics of a spontaneous photon emitted by two level atom, trapped in damped nanocavity and coupled to a single resonance mode, have been investigated. The results have been obtained with the help of new nonperturbative approach by solving exactly the Schrödinger equation. The theory accounts exactly and simultaneously processes of emission, reabsorptions and leakage of photon. The solution was found with the Green functions formalism, supplemented with the novel algorithm in operating causal singular functions and fundamentals of the theory of quasi-stationary systems. The obtained distributions and emission dynamics are presented with plots as functions of photon frequency detuning and time for various value Γ/4g. For Γ/4g <1 the spectrum is a triplet inside the cavity and doublet outside it. In this case the total emission probability is described by decaying oscillations. For Γ/4g ≥ 1 and Γ/4g >> 1 the spectrum consists of a single central line decaying exponentially with profile depending on value Γ/4g.

For Γ/4g <1 the transient emission spectrum reveals the presence of two symmetrical side-bands and of the central peak, the latter decaying in time at the rate ∝ Γ/2 so that the final spectrum is a doublet. In this case the photon emission probability is described by decaying oscillations. On the contrary for Γ/4g ≥ 1 the spectrum is a singlet and the emission occurs in exponentially decaying ways.

Creation of entangled photons by two level atom trapped in one-dimensional nanocavity with weakly decaying resonance mode

Vladislav Cheltsov

The entangled photons components are found to be created in the lossless nanocavity with resonance mode. The smallness of Γ ( 0 ≤ Γ<< g- coupling constant for electro-dipolar interaction) was revealed playing the crucial part in their production. It’s known that Г determines limits (ωc ± Γ) of photon frequency deflection from the mode frequency ωc, when photon passes through empty cavity. When Γ = 0 and ωa=ωc , the Hamiltonian is time independent and has two eigenstates with eigenvalies (ωa ± g). Each state is superposition of the upper and lower atomic states, taken with signs plus and minus respectively. These states are stationary and form a time-depended superposition. Matrix elements of the interaction Hamiltonian, taken between that superposition and atomic unperturbed states, contain two anti-phases components of entangled photons. Since Γ = 0, their emission out of cavity is forbidden so they interfere, producing beatings of the resonance mode by sin (g•t). When 0 < Γ<< g those beatings become quasi-stationary, and with probability proportional to Γ/4g they go out through the partly transparent mirror and disintegrate into two photons, each of them taking its own spectral place outside the cavity. This process is illustrated by 3D-plots in the (ω, t)-space.

Dynamics of the spontaneous emission of an atom into the photon-density-of-states gap: Solvable quantum-electrodynamical model

Rashit F. Nabiev, Po-Chiang Yeh, J. J. Sánchez-Mondragón

We consider the process of spontaneous emission of a two-level atom embedded into a periodic layered dielectric structure. When the resonant atomic frequency lies within the photon-density-of-states gap, of width \ensuremath{\Gamma}, the atom emits light during a time interval t\ensuremath{\Gamma}\ensuremath{\ll}1 until the spontaneous emission becomes fully inhibited. We discuss the enhancing of spontaneous emission by tuning the atomic resonance with a one-mode microcavity. In the \ensuremath{\lambda}/4-shifted distributed feedback microcavities which possess the \ensuremath{\delta}-function-like density of states, in the middle of the gap, the process of spontaneous emission has damped Rabi oscillation behavior; the damping depends on the width of the gap and the height of its walls. A profile of the density-of-states gap can be determined from the experimental data on the temporal behavior of the atomic spontaneous decay.
