Cooperative quantum electrodynamical processes in an ellipsoidal cavity

Abstract

We investigate spontaneous photon emission and absorption processes of two two- level atoms trapped close to the focal points of an ellipsoidal cavity, thereby taking into account the full multimode scenario. In particular, we calculate the excitation probabilities of the atoms by describing the field modes semiclassically. Based on this approach, we express the excitation probabilities by a semiclassical photon path representation. Due to the special property of an ellipsoidal cavity of having two focal points, we are able to study interesting intermediate instances between well-known quantum-optical scenarios. Furthermore, the semiclassical photon path representation enables us to address the corresponding retardation effects and causality questions in a straightforward manner.

Spontaneous Photon Emission in Cavities

G. Alber, N. Griebe

We investigate spontaneous photon emission processes of two-level atoms in parabolic and ellipsoidal cavities thereby taking into account the full multimode scenario. In particular, we calculate the excitation probabilities of the atoms and the energy density of the resulting few-photon electromagnetic radiation field by using semiclassical methods for the description of the multimode scenario. Based on this approach photon path representations are developed for relevant transition probability amplitudes which are valid in the optical frequency regime where the dipole and the rotating-wave approximations apply. Comparisons with numerical results demonstrate the quality of these semiclassical results even in cases in which the wave length of a spontaneously emitted photon becomes comparable or even larger than characteristic length scales of the cavity. This is the dynamical regime in which diffraction effects become important so that geometric optical considerations are typically not applicable.

QED with a parabolic mirror

G. Alber, József Zsolt Bernád, Magdalena Stobińska +2 more

We investigate the quantum electrodynamics of a single two-level atom located at the focus of a parabolic cavity. We first work out the modifications of the spontaneous emission induced by the presence of this boundary in the optical regime, where the dipole and the rotating-wave approximations apply. Furthermore, the single-photon state that leaves the cavity asymptotically is determined. The corresponding time-reversed single-photon quantum state is capable of exciting the atom in this extreme multimode scenario with near-unit probability. Using semiclassical methods, we derive a photon-path representation for the relevant transition amplitudes and show that it constitutes a satisfactory approximation for a wide range of wavelengths.

Cavity-controlled cooperative nonlinear optical effects under emission and absorption of single resonance photons by two level atoms trapped in lossless and damped micro-cavities

Vladislav Cheltsov

In this paper, the nonperturbative version of theory displays new nonlinear properties of the cavity-controlled cooperative spontaneous emission from the compound system. One of the important features of the theory is that it accounts automatically re-absorptions of photons in the cavity. Another important result is the description of "dark" and "luminous" states of two atoms in the cavity: couples of atoms bound with other by virtual photon of the cavity mode.

Mutual cooperative effects between the mode components of two-photon and Raman induced cavity lasing processes

N. A. Enaki

The paper proposes to unify the two-photon laser and induced cooperative scattering Raman lasing in which the flying ensemble of two-level excited radiators are coupled with the bimodal cavity field in nonlinear two-photon and scattering interactions. It discusses the situation in which the induced two-quantum lasing takes place together with the cooperative scattering conversion of photons between the pump, Stokes, and anti-Stokes cavity modes. The proposed master equation describes cooperative energy exchanges between Raman and two-photon lasing processes by portions of energies multiple to the energy of the entangled photon pair. The generators of such emission and absorption processes belonging to the symmetries of Raman conversion and two-photon cooperative generation are unified. The first symmetry belongs to su(2) algebra connected to the scattering conversion in the Stokes, pump, and anti-Stokes modes of cavity (Opt. Commun.,285(5) (2012) 686–692). The second one belongs to multi-mode su(1,1) symmetry which quantifies the cooperative process belonging to two-photon emission in cavity/fiber mode components of field (see Opt. Commun. 247(4–6) (2005) 381–392). The bimodal collective photon operators are introduced describing the emission or absorption acts of the fixed portion of energy from the cavity equal to the transition energy between the states of each excited atom. A key impact of the study focuses on the statistical properties of the bimodal field and their detection possibilities are proposed for the description of the time evolution of quantum correlations between the field components of Raman conversion and two-photon emission.
