Abstract

We have measured second order correlation function in the cavity-QED microlaser. The linear relation between correlation time and Mandel Q was observed and this explains the origin of sub-Poissonan photon statistics.

Observation of sub-Poisson Photon Statistics in the Cavity-QED Microlaser

Wonshik Choi, Jai-Hyung Lee, Kyungwon An +3 more

We have measured the second-order correlation function of the cavity-QED microlaser output and observed a transition from photon bunching to antibunching with increasing average number of intracavity atoms. The observed correlation times and the transition from super- to sub-Poisson photon statistics can be well described by gain-loss feedback or enhanced-reduced restoring action against fluctuations in photon number in the context of a quantum microlaser theory and a photon rate equation picture. However, the theory predicts a degree of antibunching several times larger than that observed, which may indicate the inadequacy of its treatment of atomic velocity distributions.

Correlation measurements in cavity QED: detuning effects

G. T. Foster, S. L. Mielke, Luis A. Orozco

Summary form only given. The second-order correlation function of the intensity is a measurement of the intensity fluctuations and their enhancement or suppression relative to an ideal laser field. It is a sensitive probe of the dynamic processes involved in producing the light. We have measured the correlation function of the photons escaping from a cavity QED system consisting of a high-finesse interferometer traversed by an atomic beam of optically pumped Rb atoms. We observe nonclassical correlations, exhibiting antibunching and sub-Poissonian statistics.

Photon Correlations in Two-Mode Cavity QED

Matthias Kronenwett, A. S. Parkins, H. J. Carmichael

Photon correlation functions are presented for two-mode cavity QED with orthogonal, linearly-polarized cavity modes. The full atomic level structure is treated for an F = 3 to F′ = 4 transition. An extremely long correlation time is identified and explained.

Conditional evolution in cavity QED

G. T. Foster, D. Greenbaum, Luis A. Orozco

Summary form only given. The second order intensity correlation function can provide evidence of the non-classical nature of an electric field, as well as information about the dynamics which produce the field. In practice, this is a conditional measurement of the probability to detect a photon given that another photon was detected in coincidence or some time before. We have measured the correlation function of the photons escaping from a strongly coupled cavity QED system consisting of a high finesse interferometer traversed by a beam of optically pumped Rb atoms. In this regime, the rate of reversible exchange of energy between the atoms and the cavity is larger than the cavity decay and spontaneous emission rates, and the saturation photon number is less than one. The correlations exhibit the non-classical features of antibunching and sub-Poissonian statistics, and an oscillation related to the exchange of energy taking place in the coupled system of atoms and cavity field. We view the initial photon detection as causing a projection of the system into a well defined initial state from which it coherently evolves back to steady state. A full characterization of this conditional evolution requires the measurement of the electric field as it evolves from the initial state.
