Physical Review A

Photon-emission statistics in resonance fluorescence in a broadband squeezed vacuum

Abstract

We study the statistical properties of fluorescence from a coherently driven two-level atom placed in a broadband squeezed vacuum. The photon statistics are studied in terms of waiting time distribution or the delay function that describes the probability of emission of the very next photon following an emission of a photon initially. In an intense field limit, we analytically obtain the delay function for total emission and examine its phase-dependent behavior in a squeezed vacuum. We further analytically calculate the delay functions for the Mollow sidebands and use them to discuss the time correlation and successive emission of photons belonging to the left and right sidebands.

Photon-counting statistics of resonance fluorescence in a squeezed vacuum

B. N. Jagatap, S. V. Lawande

We discuss the consequences of the interaction of a broadband squeezed vacuum on the photon statistics of a coherently driven two-level atom. The statistics is described in terms of the Mandel function Q(T) and the probability P(n,T) of counting n photons in a time interval T. The phase-dependent decay in the squeezed vacuum is highlighted with these functions.

Sideband correlations in resonance fluorescence from two-level atoms in a squeezed vacuum

Amitabh Joshi, Ravinder Rupchand Puri

The quantum nature of sidebands in resonance fluorescence from one as well as two coherently driven two-level atoms in a squeezed bath is studied by deriving expressions for intensity-intensity correlation functions and photon statistics that are phase sensitive. The nonexponential decay of the population inversion for the two-atom case is explicitly shown under certain conditions of parameters.

Resonance fluorescence with squeezed-light excitation

Reeta Vyas, Surendra Singh

Resonance fluorescence from a single two-level atom driven by a beam of squeezed light is studied in the weak-field limit. We consider the situation where the atom is coupled to the ordinary vacuum and only a few field modes corresponding to the driving field are squeezed. The field produced by the degenerate optical parametric oscillator is used as the driving field. Heisenberg equations of motion are solved in the steady-state and analytic expressions for the fluorescent-light intensity and the spectrum of fluorescent light are derived. We also consider photon statistics of fluorescent light. In particular, squeezing, antibunching, and sub-Poissonian statistics of fluorescent photons are discussed, and analytic expressions for the quadrature variance and the two-time intensity correlation function are presented. Contrary to the case of coherent excitation, the second-order intensity correlation function does not factorize. This and other differences are discussed, and curves are presented to illustrate the behavior of various quantities. We also present results for thermal excitation of the atom.

Photon statistics of resonance fluorescence in a squeezed vacuum

Richard D’Souza, Arundhati S. Jayarao, S. V. Lawande

We present some effects of a squeezed vacuum on the photon statistics of a coherently driven two-level atom. The intensity-intensity correlation function ${\mathit{g}}^{(2)}$(\ensuremath{\tau}), Mandel's response function Q(T), and the photon-counting distribution P(0,T) show the manifestation of the inhibition of atomic phase decay in the presence of a squeezed vacuum.

Interaction of a bichromatically driven two-level atom with a squeezed vacuum: Photon statistics and squeezing

Matthias Jakob, Gagik Yu. Kryuchkyan

We consider effects of a broadband squeezed reservoir on the second-order intensity correlation, and on squeezing properties in the resonance fluorescence of a bichromatically driven two-level atom in a cavity of moderate Q. Phase-dependent squeezed reservoir effects change the photon statistics, and lead to an amplification of the degree of squeezing. Squeezed reservoir effects in the second-order correlation function ${g}^{(2)}(\ensuremath{\tau})$ are determined by two-photon emission processes which can be enhanced or suppressed in dependence on the squeezing phase.
