“Trapping” of the Radiation of an Excited Particle by Its Stark Interaction with the Nonresonant Levels of Surrounding Particles

Ashat M. Basharov

Published Feb 1, 2018• 8 citations
Publisher

Abstract

It has been shown analytically that an excited particle surrounded by immobile unlike atoms does not emit at a certain number of surrounding atoms. The necessary condition is the smallness of the region occupied by the particle and its environment compared to the wavelength of a photon emitted by an isolated particle in electromagnetic vacuum.

Langevin and generalized Langevin types of spontaneous emission of quantum particles

Ashat M. Basharov

In the effective Hamiltonian representation, we have obtained a quantum stochastic differential equation of a generalized Langevin type for the evolution operator of an atomic ensemble in a microcavity in an external broadband quantized field and in a nonresonant field of the microcavity. We show that, depending on the number of particles in the atomic ensemble, its dynamics demonstrates both the Langevin and the generalized Langevin types of the two-photon spontaneous decay. In this case, one photon is emitted into the cavity mode, whereas the other photon is emitted into the external broadband electromagnetic field. The Langevin type is determined by a considerable Stark interaction of the atomic ensemble with the broadband photon-free quantized field. We show that, here, the Stark interaction is represented by a quantized Poisson process and, depending on its magnitude (at certain numbers of atoms in the ensemble), the two-photon collective spontaneous emission of microcavity atoms can be completely suppressed. In this case, the two-photon spontaneous emission of the singly excited atomic ensemble is described by the two-level model, while the atom-photon cluster of the microcavity under the described conditions is an artificial two-level quantum particle with a strong Stark interaction.

Two-atom resonance fluorescence

Constantine Mavroyannis

The excitation spectrum arising from the interaction between two identical atoms (molecules), one of which is excited in the presence of a resonant strong electromagnetic field (pump field), is investigated. The excitation spectrum is found to consist of those describing the symmetric and antisymmetric modes, respectively. The form of both spectra depends on the relation between the distance $R$ separating the atoms and the wavelength $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ of the transition from the ground state to the excited state. For $R<\ensuremath{\lambda}$, and when certain conditions prevail, the spectral function for the symmetric modes consists of three Lorentzian lines describing the central peak and the two sidebands whose radiative widths are equal to ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{0}$, $\frac{3{\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{0}}{2}$, and $\frac{3{\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{0}}{2}$, which are twice the corresponding ones arising from an isolated single atom interacting with the pump field. For the antisymmetric modes the central peak has a $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function distribution indicating the stability of the mode in question, while, when certain conditions are satisfied, the two sidebands are described by Lorentzian lines each having a radiative width of the order of $\frac{{\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{0}}{2}$, which is equal to the natural linewidth for a photon spontaneously emitted from an isolated atom. For both the symmetric and antisymmetric modes, the dipole-dipole interaction between the atoms brings about small energy shifts. For $R>\ensuremath{\lambda}$, apart from the small energy shifts caused by the dipole-dipole interaction, the spectral functions for symmetric and antisymmetric modes are similar to that for the single atom interacting with the pump field.

Superradiance in the Generalized (Non-Wiener) Dicke Model

Ashat M. Basharov, Andrew I. Trubilko

Abstract It is shown that when nonresonant interactions between atoms and a vacuum electromagnetic field are included in analysis of emission of a localized ensemble of identical atoms, a delay must appear in the cooperative radiation pulse emitted by the atomic ensemble that is initially in a half-excited state. At the same time, the emission of cooperative radiation from a completely excited ensemble for certain parameters must begin without any delay. This contradicts the familiar facts of the conventional Dicke superradiance, in the theory of which nonresonant interactions are disregarded. The model taking into account nonresonant interactions along with other factors of the Dicke model is called the generalized Dicke model.

Spontaneous Emission from an Excited Atom in the Presence of N Atoms and M Modes

F.W. Cummings

The long-time behavior of the number of photons in a mode of the electromagnetic field is given in closed form in terms of elementary functions when there is initially one (two-level) atom excited in the presence of $N$ unexcited identical atoms and $M$ field modes. The radiation trapping which occurs with only one mode disappears when the number of modes $M$ approaches the total number of atoms in the continuum mode approximation.
