Abstract
We study the two-excitation system comprising two two-level atoms resonantly interacting with two coupled cavities.The evolution of the state vector of the system is given.By means of the numerical calculations,we investigate the evolution of the second-order correlation function of the field and that of Mandel Q function.The influences of coupling constant between cavities and state-selective measurement of the atom on the second-order correlation function and Mandel Q function are discussed.The results obtained show that the second-order correlation function or Mandel Q function has a nonlinear relation with increasing of the cavity-cavity coupling coefficient.On the other hand,the sub-Poissonian distribution of the field can be strengthened through the state-selective measurement on the atom.
