Abstract

The photon statistics of spectrum components and the cross correlation between spectrum components in resonance fluorescence are discussed. For the collective case anticorrelation between the central component and the sidebands is observed.

Sub-Poissonian photon statistics in time-dependent collective resonance fluorescence

Vladimír Bužek, Tran Quang, L. H. Lan

We have discussed the photon statistics of the spectral components of N-atom time-dependent resonance fluorescence. It is shown that in contrast to the stationary limit, sub-Poissonian photon statistics in the sidebands occur for any number N of atoms including the case N\ensuremath{\gg}1. Reduction in Mandel's parameters ${\mathit{Q}}_{+1}$ is found with increasing numbers of atoms. The typical time for the presence of sub-Poissonian statistics is proportional to 1/N.

Collective atomic effects in resonance fluorescence

We suggest that the statistical properties of the scattered radiation in resonance-fluorescence experiments may be affected significantly by the existence of atomic correlations. The scattered light spectrum from two- and three-atom collective systems has been calculated and compared with the one-atom spectrum. The differences are quite significant for weak fields, but become less pronounced as the intensity of the driving field is increased. In addition, we have calculated the scattered intensity correlation function for collectively interacting systems, and found that its behavior is very different from that of the single-atom intensity correlation function, both for weak and strong incident fields. The implications of our findings for the observation of photon antibunching are also discussed.

Resonance fluorescence from atoms in a cavity

A.S. Shumovsky, Tran Quang

We consider the problem of resonance fluorescence from N two-level atoms interacting with an intense cavity mode. The novel results for the spectral and statistical properties of the fluorescence field, which are quite different from collective resonance fluorescence in a free space, are obtained. The correlation, anti-correlation between spectrum components and violation of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality are discussed.

Collective Atomic Dynamics in Resonance Fluorescence

Andrew I. Trubilko, Ashat M. Basharov

A new collective effect has been revealed in resonance fluorescence: the side and central components of the triplet in the emission spectrum of an atomic ensemble excited by an intense coherent field are narrowed in the case of the critical number of atoms in the ensemble.

Correlation of photons in collective Raman scattering

Nikolay N. Bogolubov, A.S. Shumovsky, Tran Quang

The photon statistics of spectrum components of the Stokes line in collective Raman scattering are investigated. The cross bunching and cross-antibunching between the spectrum components of the Stokes line and between the Stokes and Rayleigh lines are investigated too.
