Asymmetric two-level two-level resonance fluorescence spectra and dressed state populations in a squeezed vacuum

S Smart, S. Swain

The authors calculate the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a two-level atom interacting with a resonant classical applied field and a squeezed vacuum for general values of the squeezing phase. They find that the spectra are asymmetric under the following conditions: (i) the Rabi frequency must not be too large and (ii) the squeezing phase should be of athe order pi /2. Large asymmetries are obtainable, even if the three peaks of the spectrum are clearly resolved. An interpretation is provided by means of a dressed state analysis. Under conditions (i) and (ii), they also find that very large differences in the dressed state populations can occur.

Dressed Population Trapping for a Two-Level Atom in a Squeezed Vacuum

Jean-Michel Courty, Serge Reynaud

We study resonance fluorescence of a two-level atom driven by an intense pump field and coupled to a squeezed reservoir. We show that the population is trapped in one of the two dressed states when some condition is fulfilled. This condition has a purely geometrical interpretation in the spin-1/2 representation. As a consequence of the dressed population trapping, one sideband of the fluorescence triplet disappears. This feature could be used for detecting a squeezed field through its interaction with a two-level atom.

Anomalous resonance fluorescence and dressed-state inversion by squeezed light in a Fabry-Pérot microcavity

William Smyth, S. Swain, Z. Ficek +1 more

It has been suggested that phased atomic decay in a squeezed vacuum could be detected in the fluorescence spectrum emitted from a driven two-level atom in a cavity. Recently, the existence of other very distinctive features in the fluorescence spectra arising from the nonclassical features of the squeezed vacuum has been reported. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of experimental observation of these spectra. The main obstacle to the experimentalist is ensuring an effective squeezed-vacuum-atom coupling. To overcome this problem we propose the use of a Fabry-P\'erot microcavity. The analysis involves a consideration of the three-dimensional nature of the electromagnetic field, and the possibility of a mismatch between the squeezed and cavity modes. The problem of squeezing bandwidths is also addressed. We show that under experimentally realistic circumstances many of the spectral anomalies predicted in free space also occur in this environment. In addition, we report large population inversions in the dressed states of the two-level atom.
