Abstract

The system of an impurity electron coupled to localized phonons is considered under the strong excitation of an external laser field. The resonance-fluorescence spectrum is calculated for a two-level impurity atom. A hole and an antihole are found on the sidebands of the spectrum. Characteristic features of these structures are examined, and their physical origin is discussed.

Narrow Resonances with Excitation of Finite Bandwidth Field

The effect of the laser linewidth on the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a two-level atom is revisited. The novel spectral features, such as hole-burning and dispersive profiles at line centre of the fluorescence spectrum are predicted when the laser linewidth is much greater than its intensity. The unique features result from quantum interference between different dressed-state transition channels. c # 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. PACS : 42.50.Hz; 32.80.-t Keywords: Resonance fluorescence; Laser linewidth; Quantum interference The study of resonance fluorescence spectra has provided much fundamental insight into the subject of atom1light interactions. It is well known that for weak laser field excitation, the spectrum exhibits a Lorentzian lineshape, whereas it develops into the Mollow triplet for strong field excitation [1]. The latter is a direct signature of stimulated emissions and absorptions of the atom during the time interval for one spontaneous decay. Recently, considera...

Transient Spectrum, Intensity, and Intensity Correlation of the Resonance Fluorescence from an Impurity Atom in a Solid

King-Do Su, W. Vogel, D.‐G. Welsch

Abstract The influence of the linear electron‐phonon coupling on the resonance fluorescence light of an impurity atom in solids is studied in the limits of low temperature and resonant excitation of the zero‐phonon transition. It is shown that with respect to the total intensity the electron‐phonon coupling gives rise only to a Debye‐Waller factor. The transient spectrum is studied taking into account the effect of the spectral apparatus. Further, it is shown that the intensity correlation can be modified substantially provided that the electron is coupled to a pseudolocal phonon mode of very narrow bandwidth.

Additional sidebands due to cooperative interaction in a spatially distributed collection of two-level atoms driven by a resonant laser field

Y. Ben-Aryeh, Charles M. Bowden

The fluorescence spectrum of a system of a large number of two-level atoms driven by a strong resonant field has been treated, so far, for atoms contained in a region that is small compared to a wavelength. For high laser intensities resonances displaced from the line center by twice the Rabi frequency were predicted1-3 in addition to the usual Stark sidebands.4 We show that the explicit spatial distribution of the two-level atoms affects the shape of the radiation spectra and leads to the appearance of additional sidebands.

Steady-state resonance fluorescence spectrum of a two-level atom in a cavity

Helen S. Freedhoff, Tran Quang

We calculate the steady-state spectrum of resonance fluorescence from a two-level atom coupled to a single cavity mode and driven by a strong, in general off-resonance, external field. In the strong-coupling limit, each Mollow triplet component is split into a multiplet, whose detailed structure depends on the atom–cavity coupling, the cavity and spontaneous emission decay constants, and the photon-number distribution of the cavity mode. The dressed states for this system are identified, and the spectral features are interpreted in terms of transitions among these dressed states. In particular, we find that the central component of the central multiplet can have a strongly subnatural linewidth.

One- and two-photon resonance fluorescence of a three-level atom at high photon densities

Constantine Mavroyannis, M. P. Sharma

We consider the possible physical processes that may arise in a three-level atom when only two of its levels interact with a strong electromagnetic field and when the atomic transition frequency is nearly equal to once and twice the frequency of the laser field, respectively. There have been found pronounced cooperative effects in the spectrum of the two-level system, which is in resonance with the laser field, arising from the presence of the third level. The excitation spectra describing the transitions from the first excited state into the second excited state and from that to the ground state consist, apart from the two central peaks, of two pairs of sidebands which are induced by the laser field of the neighbouring system. Detailed expressions of the spectral functions for the physical processes of one- and two-photon resonance fluorescence have been derived and discussed in the limit of high photon densities. The excitation spectrum of the low frequency modes has been considered and discussed in detail. It is found that quantum beats in spontaneous emission may appear in the spectra of the one- and two-photon resonance fluorescence arising from the interference between the two atomic transition frequencies and the frequency of the laser field. The importance of the low frequency modes that occur in the processes in question has been pointed out.

Resonance fluorescence spectrum of an atom strongly coupled to a cavity

Craig M. Savage

The spectrum of the resonance fluorescence light from a single two-level atom in a small, high-quality, optical cavity is calculated. The coupling between the atom and cavity is made sufficiently strong compared to the dissipation that single quantum frequency splitting (vacuum Rabi splitting) occurs. Under high excitation qualitatively new fluorescent spectra are predicted. The usual three-peaked resonance fluorescence spectrum now has sidebands whose width is given by the Jaynes-Cummings atom-cavity coupling coefficient rather than by the system dissipation.
