Population Inversion of Two Atoms under the phase decoherence in the multiphoton process
Dong Zhang, Qi Mu
Abstract
By means of the quantum theory,the population inversion of two atoms in the system of two two-level atoms coupled to a light field in the Binomial Optical Field are investigated in the presence of phase decoherence in the multiphoton Tavis -Cumming Model.The influences of the phase decoherence coefficient,the parameters η of the binomial optical field,the maximum number of photons and the number of the transitional photons on the properties of the population inversion of two atoms have been discussed. The results show that the phase decoherence reduced the oscillation amplitude of the population inversion of two atoms and destroyed the atomic quantum characteristic.Changing the number of the transitional photons,evolved cycle and evolved intensity the population inversion of two atoms can be changed.The phenomena of collapse and revival disappear as photon number increase.When the binomial optical state changes from a coherent state to a Fock state,the oscillation frequency of the atomic population reduces gradually,the phenomena of collapse and revival vanishes gradually.
