Non-resonant effects in the fluorescent Dicke model. I. Exact steady state analysis

S. V. Lawande, Ravinder Rupchand Puri, Saad S. M. Hassan

The exact steady state solution for the reduced atomic density operator for a model of N identical two-level atoms occupying the same site (the Dicke model) and driven by a CW off-resonant laser field is presented. Exact expressions are given for the atomic observables and atomic correlation functions of arbitrary order. Exact thermodynamic analysis (N to infinity ) shows that the critical phase transition behaviour found in the resonant case is destroyed due to non-resonant effects. For large N and increasing detuning parameter, quantum fluctuations tend to vanish and hence the atomic observables tend to assume their semiclassical values. Also it is found that for a fixed arbitrary detuning parameter and increasing N these fluctuations disappear for the whole range of the driving field strength. The authors explain why it is not possible in the limit N to infinity to recover the correct asymptotic limit for the resonant case from the results of the dispersive case.

Laser phase and amplitude fluctuations in the fluorescent Dicke model of interacting atoms

S. V. Lawande, B. N. Jagatap, Ravinder Rupchand Puri

A system of N identical superimposed two-level atoms (the Dicke model) interacting with one another and driven by a fluctuating laser field of finite phase and amplitude bandwidths is considered. An exact master equation for the phase-averaged reduced atomic density operator is derived using the theory of multiplicative stochastic processes. It is shown that in the absence of amplitude fluctuations, this equation admits an exact steady-state solution. The exact solution is further used to obtain and analyse the behaviour of the phase-averaged atomic observables and atomic correlation functions in the steady state. The principal results of our analysis is that the phase fluctuations tend to smooth the discontinuities in the observables and the correlation functions found in the non-fluctuating case. Further, including the amplitude fluctuations as well we derive in the high-field limit a Markovian master equation for the density operator averaged over the ensembles of both phase and amplitude fluctuations. The quantum regression theorem is used to derive and discuss exact analytical expressions for the fluorescent spectrum and the second-order intensity correlation function for a system of two interacting atoms.

Incoherently driven Dicke model

The exact steady-state solution for the reduced atomic density operator for a model system of N identical two-level atoms confined to a single site (the Dicke model) and driven by a totally incoherent broad-band (chaotic) field is derived through the equivalent Fokker-Planck equation of the system. Steady-state values of the atomic observables, higher moments and atomic fluctuations are calculated for an arbitrary N and an arbitrary field strength. It is shown that when the chaotic field is a thermal (black-body) field the atomic system is driven into a steady relative occupation number that obeys the Boltzmann distribution law only for N=1. (The same result for N>1 atoms can be reached only if the cooperative interactions between the atoms are ignored.) In the thermodynamic limit N to infinity there is no critical behaviour in contrast to the resonant coherently driven case. It is also shown that semiclassical (direct) factorisation of the equations of motion does not lead to the correct results for the N to infinity limit of the exact quantum case. Within the exact theory numerical results for finite N (<or=100) are presented for the time-dependent expectation values of the atomic operators, the intensity and the intensity autocorrelation function. Superradiant pulses are emitted by N initially inverted atoms but as the incident intensity is increased this superradiant behaviour is obscured. The steady-state fluorescence spectrum is a single Lorentzian of width proportional to N in the weak-field case. In the strong-field case the spectrum is insensitive to the number of atoms and the result is similar to the one-atom situation. Photon bunching and antibunching effects are investigated for the weak- and strong-field limits. When the chaotic driving field is simply a single-mode thermal field the approach to atomic saturation is delayed in comparison with the case of the broad-band chaotic field.
