Abstract

The systematic method of Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) of the generalized Wigner distribution is used to study the multi-photon transition process of a driven optical system, which has the mixture of absorptive and dispersive feature. The multi-photon and mixture of absorptive and dispersive feature FPE and steady state equations are obtained. The properties of the steady state equation is discussed.

THE MULTI-PHOTON QUANTUM STATISTICAL THEORY OF DRIVEN OPTICAL SYSTEMS (Ⅰ)——FOKKER-PLANCK EQUATION AND GOOD CAVITY CASE

LIN REN-MING, HUANG SI-XIAN, ZHANG LIN +1 more

The systematic method of Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) for the generalized Wigner distribution is used to study the multi-photon transition process of a driven optical system. The general multi-photon FPE, the state equation and the spectrum of transmitted light in good cavity limit are obtained- The two-photon optical bistability spectrum of transmitted light is calculated and compared with single-photon case. It is shown that for multi-photon case, the atom -atom correlation is also negligible in the good cavity limit.

Nonequilibrium transitions in quantum optical systems

P. D. Drummond

The topic of this thesis is a theoretical study of nonequilibrium transitions and quantum statistical properties of nonlinear quantum optical systems driven by an external radiation source. In certain limiting cases, a comparison is made between these transitions and the phase transitions found in equilibrium physical systems. In chapters one and two, the mathematical tools are introduced. In operator terms, the time development is described by a Markovian master equation in the interaction picture. This is equivalent to a corresponding time development equation or Fokker-Planck equation in a vector space of c-numbers. In order to deal with the type of Fokker-Planck equation that results, we introduce a quantum classical correspondence resulting in a distribution function over a complex phase-space, which is a generalisation of the Glauber-Sudarshan P-function. In chapter three this is applied to a model of a coherently driven mode with nonlinear dispersion and absorption. We find in the limit of zero temperature, that the spectrum is symmetric relative to the input frequency, and an exact solution is obtained for the distribution function. For a detuned driving field and nonlinear dispersion, optical bistability can occur. In chapter four a model of sub/second harmonic generation is introduced. This has several non-equilibrium transitions, including dispersive optical bistability, and bistable behaviour with coherent phase-locked input to both modes. Exact solutions occur in the limit of zero temperature and adiabatic elimination of one mode. In both chapters three and four, steady-state photon anti-bunching occurs with an absorptive nonlinearity. In chapter five we include interactions between the radiation mode and a fluorescent atomic system. In this case different behaviour occurs depending on the relative decay rates of the individual atoms and of the radiation mode. In the case of a high-Q interferometer, the atomic variables can be adiabatically eliminated. Both dispersive and absorptive bistability can occur. We show by analytic and numerical calculations (in the case of inhomogeneous broadening) that dispersive operation has advantages in requiring a lower atomic density and input field to observe bistability. When the input field has Gaussian (rather than coherent) photon statistics, there is no bistability, but enhanced photon bunching occurs. Finally, there is a different type of behaviour when the field mode decays rapidly and can be adiabatically eliminated. Within the cooperation lifetime the system can be described by a J²-invariant Hamiltonian, giving the special case of only collective damping. The result is a new type of critical point transition in the thermodynamic limit, with the appearance of a family of solutions like Lotka-Volterra cycles for a coherent driving field above threshold.

Fokker-Planck equation in the good-cavity limit and single-atom optical bistability

Changxin Wang, Reeta Vyas

A generalized Fokker-Planck equation is used to study the problem of single-atom optical bistability in the good-cavity limit. The effects of quantum fluctuations are investigated by linearizing fluctuations around the steady-state value. It is shown that in the good-cavity limit, quantum fluctuations are relatively small, and hence there exist both absorptive and dispersive single-atom bistability. By comparing our single-atom Fokker-Planck equation with the N-atom Fokker-Planck equation, we find that in the good-cavity limit, these two different Fokker-Planck equations reduce to identical equations. We therefore come to an important conclusion that the results obtained from the many-atom Fokker-Planck equation in the good-cavity limit are also valid for a single atom. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

MULTI-PHOTON SPECTRUM OF TRANSMITTED LIGHT FOR THE MIXED ABSORPTIVE-DISPERSIVE DRIVEN OPTICAL SYSTEM IN GOOD CAVITY CASE

ZHANG LIN, LIN REN-MING, 福建师范大学物理系,福州,350007

In this paper, the multi-photon spectrum of transmitted light for the mixed absorptive-dispersive optical system in good cavity case is discussed. Owing to the influence of detuning θ and △, not all the various peak values of the spectrum appear at the point of ω = ω0, and the coefficient of different peak value is not the same. Therefore, the spectrum of transmitted light will show various characters, such as single peak, multi-peaks or asymmetric ones.

Optical Bistability in Multimode Systems with Second-and Third-order Dispersive Nonlinearity

F.‐J. Schütte, Kurt Germey, R. Tiebel +1 more

Mutual optical bistability is found for several modes in open cavities containing second- or third-order nonlinear materials. The quantum-statistical treatment yields the Fokker-Planck equation for any system of damped boson modes. Under certain conditions it is possible to state the extrema of the steady solution of the Fokker-Planck equation. They are compared with the steady states resulting from the classical deterministic treatment. In some cases both statements coincide.
