Controlling the spontaneous emission via quantum interference of incoherent pumping field

We study the effects of quantum interference from the spontaneous emission and the incoherent pumping field on the population trapping and the spontaneous emission spectrum. It is shown that in a four-level atomic system with both interferences, the population will be trapped in degenerate two upper levels. We find that the spontaneous emission properties of the atom can be significantly modified by the interference of incoherent pumping field.

Quenching of spontaneous emission through interference of incoherent pump processes

Kishore T. Kapale, Marlan O. Scully, Shi-Yao Zhu +1 more

We investigate the steady-state spontaneous emission of a V-type three-level atom, with the coherence between the two upper levels modified and controlled via incoherent pumping to a fourth auxiliary level. The external pumping gives us an easily controllable handle in manipulating the spontaneous emission to such an extent that, under certain conditions, complete quenching of spontaneous emission is possible. We also show that even the interference between the decay channels, which is considered a key requirement in spontaneous emission quenching through quantum interference, is not essential to achieve near 100% trapping and almost complete suppression of spontaneous emission. Thus we provide a scheme for spontaneous emission quenching which can be easily realized experimentally.
