Dynamics and correlations of a Bose–Einstein condensate of photons

Julian Schmitt

Abstract The Tutorial reports recent experimental advances in studies of the dynamics as well as the number and phase correlations of a Bose–Einstein condensed photon gas confined in a high-finesse dye-filled microcavity. Repeated absorption–emission-processes of photons on dye molecules here establish a thermal coupling of the photonic quantum gas to both a heat bath and a particle reservoir comprised of dye molecules. In this way, for the first time Bose–Einstein condensation under grand-canonical statistical ensemble conditions becomes experimentally accessible. The work presented in this Tutorial was one of the four shortlisted finalists of the 2017 DPG SAMOP dissertation prize.

Intensity fluctuation spectroscopy of small numbers of dye molecules in a microcavity

Stephen C. Kitson, P. Jonsson, John Rarity +1 more

The spontaneous emission from a thin layer of a dilute solution of fluorescent dye molecules within an optical microcavity has been studied. Strong fluctuations in fluorescence intensity are observed when the average number of molecules in the measurement volume is small. We have performed experiments that simultaneously characterize these fluctuations over nine orders of magnitude of time, from ns to s. These measurements have identified photon antibunching characteristic of single-molecule emission, along with triplet-state shelving and diffusion driven number fluctuations. The results give fundamental information on the kinetics of dye molecules and allow one to speculate about the prospect of using single molecules as sources of single photons for quantum optics.
