Physical Review A

Collective resonance fluorescence in a squeezed vacuum

Abstract

The resonance fluorescence of a small sample of N two-level atoms driven by a strong resonant coherent field and damped by a squeezed vacuum is examined. The steady-state spectrum is shown to be dramatically dependent on the relative phase of the pumping field and on the squeezed-vacuum field in both the strong- and weak-squeezing limits.

STEADY-STATE RESONANCE FLUORESCENCE FROM A THREE-LEVEL ATOM IN A SQUEEZED VACUUM

Steady-state resonance fluorescence spectrum from a three-level atom driven coherently by two intense optical fields and damped by a squeezed vacuum is obtained, which shows the dependence of the spectrum strongly on the squeezing of the vacuum field and the phase difference between the squeezed component of the vacuum field and the driven fields.

Resonance Fluorescence in a Squeezed Vacuum

H. J. Carmichael, Alistair S. Lane, Daniel F. Walls

Fluorescence from a coherently driven two-level atom that is damped by a squeezed vacuum is studied. We show that the mean atomic polarization depends on the relative phases of the squeezed vacuum and the coherent driving field. The fluorescent spectrum is calculated and shows several modifications over the spectrum for normal resonance fluorescence. In particular, the central peak of the Mollow triplet has a linewidth that depends on the phase of the driving field. For strong squeezing this peak can either be much narrower or much broader than the natural linewidth of the atom.

Resonance fluorescence from an atom in a squeezed vacuum

H. J. Carmichael, Alistair S. Lane, Daniel F. Walls

The fluorescent spectrum for a two-level atom which is damped by a squeezed vacuum shows striking differences from the spectrum for ordinary resonance fluorescence. For strong coherent driving fields the Mollow triplet depends on the relative phase of the driving field and the squeezed vacuum field. The central peak may have either subnatural linewidth or supernatural linewidth depending on this phase. The mean atomic polarization also shows a phase sensitivity.

On the nature of the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a driven two-level atom in an off-resonant squeezed vacuum

Amitabh Joshi, Shoukry S. Hassan

We present analytical and numerical results for the steady-state resonance fluorescence spectrum produced by a coherently driven two-level atom in the presence of a broadband squeezed vacuum. Here the central frequency of the squeezed vacuum is off-resonant with the driving field frequency, while maintaining resonance between the driving frequency and the atomic resonance. Numerical solutions of the Bloch equations of the system are obtained under the strong driving field approximation which agree well with the analytic results.

Resonance fluorescence in a squeezed thermal vacuum

Ho Trung Dung, Nguyễn Quốc Khánh

Atom radiation in a squeezed thermal reservoir is studied. We show that, as in the case of a squeezed vacuum reservoir, the two quadratures of the atomic polarization are damped at different rates. When the atom is driven by a coherent field, we find that the steady-state polarization depends on the relative phase of the squeezing and the driving field. However, this phase dependence becomes less pronounced when the number of thermal photons increases. The fluorescent spectrum is calculated in the strong-driving-field limit by employing the secular approximation. Properties of the spectrum and the possibility of a subnatural linewidth are investigated.

Ringing in the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a driven two-level atom under bichromatic excitation in a broadband squeezed vacuum

Amitabh Joshi, Shoukry S. Hassan

We present analytical results for the steady-state resonance fluorescence spectrum produced by a driven two-level atom excited under two strong coherent fields in the presence of a broadband squeezed vacuum. Here the central frequency of the squeezed vacuum is considered to be resonant as well as off-resonant with the average driving field frequency while maintaining resonance between the atomic transition frequency and the average driving field frequency. We observe a ringing phenomenon in the fluorescence spectrum due to the small frequency difference in the bichromatic field and this phenomenon is found to be sensitive to the detuning of the carrier frequency of squeezed vacuum with respect to the central frequency of the bichromatic field.
