Photon Statistics in Thermal Multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings Models with an Initially Excited Atom

M. Kozierowski, S. M. Chumakov, J. J. Sánchez-Mondragón

Published Sep 1, 1993• 8 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Analytical expressions for the time evolution of the mean photon number and normally ordered photon number variance for the case of an initially thermal cavity field coupled to an initially excited two-level atom with m-photon transitions are proposed. The emergence of sub-Poissonian field statistics is discussed.

Bounds on sub-Poissonian field statistics in the Jaynes-Cummings model

Mark S. Hillery

The Jaynes-Cummings model describes the interaction between a two-level atom and a single mode of the radiation field. This system has a conservation law which restricts its dynamics. On the basis of this conservation law alone one can make useful statements about the photon statistics of the fields which arise in the model. Two cases are considered. In the first the field is initially in a coherent state. Here it is found that the field statistics become less sub-Poissonian as the amplitude of the initial state increases. The case of an initial thermal state is also considered. In that situation, if the average number of photons present in the initial state is greater than 2.55, then the field statistics can never become sub-Poissonian.

One- and two-photon Jaynes-Cummings models as sources of sub-Poissonian fields by chaotic pumping

M. Kozierowski

The multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings model with an initially unexcited two-level atom is considered in the context of its ability to produce a sub-Poissonian field in interaction with an initially chaotic (thermal) cavity field.

Field statistics in some generalized Jaynes-Cummings models

Surendra Singh

Photon statistics in some fully quantized models of the interaction of a two-level atom with a single-mode radiation field have been studied using the operator equations of motion. Expressions for the photon number distribution and the mean photon number are presented for various initial conditions. It is found that the mean photon number may show decays and revivals of coherence similar to those of the atomic inversion in the coherent-state Jaynes-Cummings model. Application of these models to the study of multiphoton laser, absorption, and emission processes is also discussed.

Time evolution of a two-level atom with multiphoton transitions in detuned nonideal cavity

Eugene K. Bashkirov, Русакова Маргарита Сергеевна

The dynamics of detuned two-level Jaynes-Cummings model with multiphoton transitions in the finite Q-cavity has been considered. The time evolution of the mean photon number and atomic populations has been investigated for various values of the model parameters. The type of field statistics and photon bunching/antibunching effects has been examined.
