Photon correlation functions are presented for two-mode cavity QED with orthogonal, linearly-polarized cavity modes. The full atomic level structure is treated for an F = 3 to F′ = 4 transition. An extremely long correlation time is identified and explained.

A dynamic theory of two-photon correlators measured in experiments with single molecular impurity centers has been developed. The theory takes into account the interaction between optically active electrons of an impurity center and phonons, excitations in tunneling systems of polymers and glasses, and transverse electromagnetic field. Both the correlator measured in the start-stop regime and the “full” correlator have been analyzed, and equations for these correlators have been derived. An equation relating these two correlators has been also obtained. The effect of the triplet level of an impurity molecule on the correlators leading to bunching of spontaneously emitted photons has been studied. The two-photon correlators have been calculated numerically, and their dependence on the incident light frequency and time between the pairs of detected photons in various realistic situations has been derived.
