Abstract

Expressions are found for the vacuum splitting of the energy levels of a system consisting of a two-level atom and a dielectric microsphere. These expressions coincide with those obtained from a purely classical approach.

Vacuum Rabi splitting of energy levels in a strongly coupled system of a two-level atom and dielectric microsphere

В. В. Климов, Vladilen S Letokhov, M. Ducloy

The effective dipolar Hamiltonian and the vacuum Rabi frequency for a system with a dielectric microsphere and a two-level atom with arbitrary orientation of dipole momentum are found. The energy levels of such a system are determined within the rotating-wave approximation as well as by numerical methods. The solution found is close to that within the pure classical approach.

Vacuum Rabi splitting of an atom dipole near a dielectric microsphere

В. В. Климов, M. Ducloy, Vladilen S Letokhov

A solution is found of the dispersion equation for a classical oscillator in the vicinity of a dielectric microsphere in the case of strong electromagnetic coupling. The solution obtained agrees with the corresponding quantum-mechanical solution obtained within the framework of the dressed states approach and presents a clear signature of the vacuum Rabi splitting of the energy levels in real systems. Based on this solution, a qualitative expression is found for the intensity of the resultant line doublet.

Two-photon fluorescence spectrum in an atom + dielectric microsphere system

В. В. Климов, S. Letokhov

A strong resonant interaction of a two-level atom with a dielectric microsphere is studied on the basis of quantum electrodynamics. The initial condition considered is one in which the atom is initially excited and the resonant mode of the microsphere has been excited by a single photon. The spectrum of two emitted photons depends strongly on the method used to excite the microsphere, i.e., on the spatial distribution of the photon energy. The most characteristic feature of the two-photon fluorescence spectrum is a strong energy correlation of the emitted photons. This correlation is expressed in the fact that the energies of the emitted photons are related by the equation of an ellipse (ω+ω 2−2ω vA )2+3(ω 1−ω 2)2= 4Ω Rabi 2 . The relation between the results obtained and the predictions of the theory of dressed states is discussed.
