Correlation functions and higher order coherence in inelastically scattered quantum radiation

Andrei N. Weiszmann

The concept of coherence is analyzed in a system of interacting radiation and matter. Using the projection technique, the reduced field density operator is found, and with it the first and higher order field correlation functions are computed. It is proved that the inelastically scattered field is, for the most part, incoherent in any order at any time interval after collision with an atomic ensemble, except some specific time intervals and positions, where the order of coherence is determined by the atomic correlations considered.

Further Generalization of the Generalized Master Equation

Boris Leaf

For a system described in a phase space of generalized coordinates w and momenta J, the generalized master equation gives the time evolution of the reduced-density distribution function ρ(t, J) for the momenta. A generalization of the generalized master equation, having a similar non-Markoffian form, is derived for the full distribution function ρ(t, w, J). This equation is an alternate form of the Liouville equation. The derivation is an extension of a previous derivation of the generalized master equation from the Liouville equation utilizing projection operators in a Hilbert space. The time-evolution equation for the reduced distribution function ρr(t, wr, J), depending on the subset wr of the set of coordinates w, is derived. The approach to a stationary state for t → ∞ is discussed.

Resonance fluorescence in intense radiation felds

V. Sethu Raman

The spectral density of resonance fluorescence from a two-level atom in a monochromatic radiation field of arbitrary strength and detuning is calculated by solution of the wave equation. A basis set in which the strong coupling of the atom and the quantised incident field is diagonal is used, and the resulting infinite set of coupled equations is solved by truncating them to a set of N equations and finally proceeding to the N to infinity limit. The resulting spectral densities of the inelastically scattered field for various levels of intensity of the incident field and degree of detuning are found to be identical with those of Kimble and Mandel (1976, 1977) obtained by solution of the coupled equations of motion of the atom and the radiation field in the Heisenberg picture.
