The dipole difference squeezing of a pair atoms is defined. The time evolution properties of difference squeezing of atomic dipole and amplitude-squared squeezing of light in the system of a single-mode squeezing vacuum field Raman interacting with two coupled-atoms are studied by means of quantum theory. Using the numerical method, influences of the initial squeezing parameter of light, the atomic initial state and the intensity of dipole-dipole interaction between atoms on the squeezing properties of atom and light are discussed.

A cavity QED system is analysed which duplicates the dynamics of a two-level atom in free space interacting exclusively with broadband squeezed light. We consider atoms in a three-or four-level Λ configuration coupled to a high-finesse optical cavity which is driven by a squeezed light field. Raman transitions are induced between a pair of stable atomic ground states via the squeezed cavity mode and coherent driving fields. An analysis of the reduced master equation for the atomic ground states shows that a three-level atomic system has insufficient parameter flexibility to act as an effective two-level atom interacting exclusively with a squeezed reservoir. However, the inclusion of a fourth atomic level, coupled dispersively to one of the two ground states by an auxiliary laser field, introduces an extra degree of freedom and enables the desired interaction to be realized. As a means of detecting the reduced quadrature decay rate of the effective two-level system, we examine the transmission spectrum of a weak coherent probe field incident upon the cavity. The extension to multiple atoms is also considered and we show that such a cavity QED system may also duplicate the dynamics of an ensemble of two-level atoms collectively coupled to broadband squeezed light.

The photon statistical evolution in the process of two coupling two-level atoms interacting with the squeezed coherent state light field is investigated by means of the interacting picture and the quantum theory. Meanwhile, the influence of the squeezed light field factor γ, the coherent vibration amplitude |α|2 of the field-atom, the coupling constant g of two atoms and the coupling constant λ of atom-field on the mean photon number n(t) of stimulated field are also discussed. The relations of them are revealed.
