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.

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.

Photon correlations in the spectrum of a superradiant system in a strong cavity field

H. M. Castro-Beltrán, S. M. Chumakov, J. J. Sánchez-Mondragón

We investigate correlations among photons from the components of the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a cooperative system of two-level atoms interacting with a strong field of a single-mode lossless cavity. The properties of the central band are more closely related to the superradiant effect in free space than the sidebands. The central band field has reduced fluctuations and the collective dipole has its largest uncertainty when half the atoms are initially excited. Partial atomic excitation destroys the sub-Poissonian character of the sideband field and leads to a bunching-antibunching transition in the correlation of a sideband photon followed by a central band photon.
