Parametric instability and Hamiltonian chaos in cavity semiclassical electrodynamics

Sergey V. Prants, Leonid E. Kon’kov

We study the nonlinear dynamics of the interaction of two-level atoms and a selected mode of a high- Q cavity with frequency modulation analytically and numerically. In the absence of modulation, the corresponding semiclassical Heisenberg equations for the expectation values of the collective atomic observables and the field-mode amplitudes allow, in the rotating wave approximation and in the strong-coupling limit, an exact solution with arbitrary detuning. Using this solution, we detect the coherent effect of trapping of the population of atomic levels and of trapping of the number of photons in the cavity. The explanation for this effect lies in the destructive interference of the atomic dipoles and the field mode. The integrable version of the system of equations exhibits a separatrix near which a stochastic layer is formed when modulation is introduced. The width of the layer is found to gradually increase with degree of modulation, and finally it fills the entire energy-permissible volume of the phase space. We show that the rotating wave approximation does not hinder the formation of Hamiltonian chaos in cavity semiclassical electrodynamics. The calculation of the maximum Lyapunov indices of nonlinear (in this approximation) equations of motion as functions of the modulation frequency δ and the frequency of natural Rabi oscillations of the atom-field system, Ω, suggests that Hamiltonian chaos appears first in the area of the fundamental parametric resonance, δ /2Ω≃1. Parametric instability increases with increasing modulation and decreasing detuning from the atom-field resonance, generating at exact resonance new areas of chaos corresponding to multiple parametric resonances. The results of numerical experiments and estimates of the characteristic parameters show that Rydberg atoms placed in a high- Q microwave cavity are possible objects for observing parametric instability and dynamical chaos.

Structures and chaos in parametric Rabi oscillations

Sergey V. Prants

In the strong-coupling limit, the nonlinear dynamics of interaction of two-level atoms with their own emission field in a cavity with a periodically modulated length was studied. An analytical analysis was made that shows the appearance of regions in the pseudophase space of Maxwell-Bloch equations that are responsible for the origin of dynamic chaos for the smallest possible modulation depth, and the homoclinic mechanism of their formation was revealed. In the model of a Rydberg maser with a modulated cavity, a special type of chaos was numerically discovered. This chaos, which was called structural, manifests itself under certain conditions in parametric oscillations of atomic population. On the one hand, these Rabi oscillations demonstrate sensitivity to initial conditions with a positive maximum Lyapunov exponent, and, on the other hand, they represent a signal with a long-term structure that is caused by modulation.
