Emission photon statistics of V-type three-level single molecule with permanent dipoles

Long Shi

In this paper,we discuss the emission photon statistics of V -type three-level single molecule with permanent dipoles,which driven by continuous laser and electric radio frequency(rf) fields,via the generating function method developed recently.The average emission photon numbersN,lineshapes and the Mandel's Q parameters are studied at different detuning frequency and rf strength(internsity). The waiting time distribution w(t) is also studied.The results demonstrate that the emission photon statistical properties is strongly affected by the laser frequency and rf strength(intensity),in the other hand,we can control the emission photons through the external field.In this paper,we discuss the emission photon statistics of V -type three-level single molecule with permanent dipoles,which driven by continuous laser and electric radio frequency(rf) fields,via the generating function method developed recently.The average emission photon numbersN,lineshapes and the Mandel's Q parameters are studied at different detuning frequency and rf strength(internsity).
