Weak-field transmitted and fluorescent spectra for an atom in a resonant cavity

Perry R. Rice, H. J. Carmichael

There is increasing interest in the photon statistics and spectroscopic properties of the radiation from atoms confined in an optical cavity. Effects such as the cavity enhancement and inhibition of spontaneous emission, which were first observed using microwave cavities, have recently been measured at optical frequencies.1 Recent measurements of squeezing and the dynamic effects of single-quantum-level splittings also demonstrate the possibilities for quantum-statistical studies of coupled atom-cavity systems at optical frequencies.2 We study a single two-level atom confined inside an optical cavity which is driven by coherent light in resonance with both cavity and atom. For weak driving field intensities we have calculated the spectrum of the light transmitted by the cavity and fluorescence out the sides of the cavity.

Single-atom cavity-enhanced absorption with injected squeezed vacuum: photon statistics

Perry R. Rice, L. M. Pedrotti, J. Walden

We consider a single two-level atom in an optical cavity, in which the system is driven by a coherent driving field. In the bad-cavity limit, when the cavity loss rate is taken to be large compared to the atomic decay rate and atom-field coupling, the cavity field can be adiabatically eliminated from the equations of motion for the atomic operators. The main effect of the cavity in this limit is the enhancement of spontaneous emission into the cavity mode. For this model, the second-order intensity correlation function g(2)() has been shown to exhibit photon antibunching, sub-Poissonian photon number distributions, and other nonclassical effects.1 In this paper, analytic results are presented for g(2)() for both the transmitted and fluorescent light fields when broadband squeezed light is injected into the cavity. Effects of the squeezing on nonclassical behavior is examined.

Driving atoms with light of arbitrary statistics

Crispin W. Gardiner, A. S. Parkins

The coupled-systems approach of Gardiner [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 2269 (1993)] and Carmichael [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 2273 (1993)] is used to study the effects of driving systems by a variety of kinds of nonclassical light, namely, squeezed light, two-mode squeezed light, antibunched light from a two-level atom driven by either coherent light or finite-bandwidth thermal light, and the light from a single atom in a very-high-Q cavity. The method is shown to be very efficient and complete. It is also shown that the photon-counting properties of light from an atom driven by antibunched light are not determined solely by the antibunching of the driving light.
