The paper states a simple and analytically solvable model for the generation of low-frequency emission via a localized excited ensemble of identical two-level quantum particles with a permanent dipole moment in conditions of collective spontaneous emission of the atomic ensemble.
Based on coupled quantum dots, we present an interesting optical effect in a four-level loop coupled system. Both the two upper levels and the two lower levels are designed to be almost degenerate, which induces a considerable dipole moment. The terahertz wave is obtained from the low-frequency component of the photon emission spectrum. The frequency of the terahertz wave can be controlled by tuning the energy levels via designing the nanostructure appropriately or tuning the driving laser field. A terahertz wave with adjustable frequency and considerable intensity (100 times higher than that of the Rayleigh line) can be obtained. It provides an effective scheme for a terahertz source.
The theory of coherent radiation emission in two-level quantum systems with permanent dipole moments at the multiphoton resonant excitation by moderately strong laser fields is presented. A simple analytic formula for the expectation value of a dipole moment operator is obtained. The spectrum corresponding to harmonic generation and low-frequency radiation on the generalized Rabi frequency is investigated both analytically and numerically. The effect of dynamic Stark shift on a dipole spectrum under direct multiphoton resonant excitation is considered.
The paper shows analytically that any resonant interaction of quantum particles in media having no symmetry centre with a high-frequency exciting field produces low-frequency radiation. Media particles may not necessarily have a constant dipole moment. Conditions are identified when carrier frequency of low-frequency radiation coincides with nutational oscillations of resonant level populations and is readily controlled both by high-frequency resonant radiation intensity and by resonance detuning.
