Abstract

In this paper the difference between two-photon dipole-forbidden and cascade transitions of an inverted system of atoms is studied. It is shown that the fluctuations of the electromagnetic field (EMF) density in the case of two-photon dipole-forbidden transitions are larger than the ones in the case of cascade emission. In the process of the two-photon dipole-forbidden cooperative emission the photons are created in pairs and there appears coherence between pairs of photons (biphotons). In this situation the distribution of energy between the photons in one pair may be random. For two-photon dipole-forbidden transitions the time-behavior of the square density fluctuations of EMF is similar to those of the density of EMF in the case of cascade emission. When the distance between two atoms excited relative to dipole-forbidden transitions is less than the radiation wavelength, then the kinetics of such atoms is analogous to the cascade emission of a single atom.

Cooperative effects between three subsystems in two-photon and Raman resonances

N. A. Enaki, Tudor Roşca

The two-photon and scattering resonances between the spontaneous emissions of the two- and single- photon transitions of the three-level inverted radiators in the Ξ, V configurations and the system of two-level radiators D, inverted relatively the dipole forbidden transition are revised. This approach opens the new possibilities in the manipulation of the decay process and generation of the entangled photon pairs. The correlation between the V and Ξ cascade three-level subsystems on the two-photon transitions of dipole forbidden radiators is studied, taking into consideration the cooperative scattering and two photon resonances through the vacuum field. One of them corresponds to the situation when the total energy of emitted photons by three level dipole-active radiator in the cascade configuration enters into the two-photon resonance with the dipole-forbidden transitions of second atom. Another effect corresponds to the scattering situation, when the difference of the excited energies of the two dipole-active transitions of V three level radiator are in the resonance with the dipole-forbidden transitions of the second one. These effects are accompanied with the interferences between single- and two-quantum collective transitions of the inverted radiators from the ensemble. The two particle collective decay rate is defined in the description of the atomic correlation functions.

Three-particle cooperative emission in single- and two-photon exchanges through the vacuum field

N. A. Enaki

The symmetry of the two types of resonances between the spontaneous and induced emissions by two- and single-photon transitions of three inverted radiators from the ensemble is studied. The condition for increasing the collective decay rate of the entangled photon pairs generated by the system relative to the dipole-forbidden transition is found. One of them corresponds to the situation when the total energy of emitted photons by two dipole-active radiators enters the two-photon resonance with the dipole-forbidden transitions of the third atom. The second effect corresponds to the scattering situation when the differences of the excited energies of two dipole-active radiators are in resonance with the dipole-forbidden transitions of the third atom. It is shown that transfer of the excited energy between two quantum oscillators off resonance takes place through a dipole-forbidden transition of the thread atom.

Cooperative Spontaneous Lasing and Possible Quantum Retardation Effects

N. A. Enaki

The collective decay effects between the dipole-active three-level subsystems in the nonlinear interaction with dipole-forbidden transitions, like 2 S − 1 S of hydrogen-like radiators, are proposed, taking into consideration the cooperative exchanges between two species of atoms through the vacuum field in the scattering and the two-photon resonance processes. One of them corresponds to the situation when the total energy of the emitted two photons by the three-level radiator in the cascade configuration enters into the two-photon resonance with another type of dipole-forbidden transitions of hydrogen-like (or helium-like) atoms. The similar situation appears in the cooperative scattering between two species of quantum emitters when the difference of the excited energies of the two dipole-active transitions of the three-level radiators is in the resonance with the dipole-forbidden transitions of the Hydrogen-like radiators. These effects are accompanied by the interference between single- and two-quantum collective transitions of the inverted radiators from the ensemble. The two-particle collective decay rate is defined in the description of the atomic correlation functions taking into consideration the phase retardation between them. The kinetic equations which describe the cooperative processes as the function of time and correlation are obtained. The behavior of the system of radiators at short and long time intervals in comparison with the retardation time between them is studied.

The nonlinear cooperative decay process of three-level systems stimulated by a thermal field and the generation of entangled photon pairs

N. A. Enaki, Tudor Roşca

The two-photon processes between the two- and single-photon transitions of three-level inverted radiators stimulated by a thermal field are revised. This approach opens new possibilities in the manipulation of the decay process and the generation of entangled photon pairs. The influence of the thermal bath on the correlation between the cascade three-level subsystems and the two-quantum transitions of the dipole-forbidden radiators is studied. This effect corresponds to the situation where the total energy of emitted photons by three-level dipole-active radiators in the cascade configuration enters into two-photon resonance with dipole-forbidden transitions of the second atom.

Two photon cooperative absorption and radiation of nonclassical light

N. A. Enaki

The present report deals with the condition under which an ensemble of atoms goes over into a regime of collective two-photon nutation, and with the behavior of Rabi frequency as function of external light. To simplify this problem, we consider a system of Λ-type atoms that enters into two-photon resonance with an external squeezed electromagnetic field relative to the forbidden transition ∣1> ∣2> , where ∣1> and ∣2> are ground and first exited states [1,2] The situation is examining, when the values of quantum fluctuations of electromagnetic field intensity have the same value as the mean value of electromagnetic field intensity. This is one of main difference between the our paper and [2]. The proposed mathematical model permits to take into account all the two-photon diagrams. These diagrams describe not only resonance two-photon transitions but two-photon scattering processes between ∣1> and ∣2> levels too. Using mathematical method which is proposed in [1,2] it is obtained the master equation for the atom subsystem. Two stationary solutions for the case when Rabi frequency is larger than the inverse value of the collective two-photon decay time and the case when external light is coherent are examined. It is showing that the absorption rate of an phase squeezed field is larger than the absorption rate of an amplitude squeezed light. We also obtained the behavior of inversion between the levels ∣1> and ∣2>, when the collective of atoms enters into two-photon resonance with external field.

Single Photon Ignition of Two-photon Super-fluorescence through the Vacuum of Electromagnetic Field

N. A. Enaki

The ignition of two-quantum collective emission of inverted sub-ensemble of radiators due to mutual interaction of this sub-ensemble with other two dipole active atomic subsystems in process of two-photon exchanges between the atoms through the vacuum field is proposed. The three particle resonances between two-photon and single quantum transitions of inverted radiators from the ensemble are proposed for acceleration of collective decay rate of bi-photons, obtained relatively dipole-forbidden transitions of excited atomic sub-ensemble. This mutual interaction between three super-fluorescent processes in subatomic ensembles take place relatively dipole-forbidden transitions in one of radiator subsystem. The collective resonance emission and absorption of two-quanta have nontraditional behavior, accompanied with acceleration and inhibition of collective emission processes of photons.
