Photoemission statistics in resonance fluorescence of an atom with degenerate levels

L. V. Il’ichev

The problem of the statistics of photoemission events in a specified direction and with a given polarization is solved for a resonantly fluorescing atom with degenerate levels. The degeneracy of the levels is taken into account within the semiclassical approach to the description of the atomic angular momentum. Relationships for the probability distribution of photoemission events in a specified solid angle and with a given helicity are derived for all components of the resonance fluorescence triplet. The results obtained make it possible to elucidate the influence of the polarization of a pump field on the statistics and correlations of photoemission events of different types.

The influence of quantum interference effects on the resonance fluorescence spectra of a degenerate three-level atom

A. A. Panteleev, Vl. K. Roerieh

The resonance fluorescence spectra of a degenerate three-level atom of the V -type in the field of an intense monochromatic wave with an arbitrary polarization composition are investigated. Analytical expressions are derived for the resonance fluorescence spectra, and the angular distribution of spontaneous fluorescence of atoms is analyzed for the D -line emitted by vapors of alkali atoms. It is shown that the number of lines in the spectrum may decrease in the case of the linear polarization of spontaneous radiation. The radiation relaxation operator is obtained for the D -line of alkali metals in the case when an atom is near the metal surface. Interference effects for such systems are analyzed.

Polarization-correlated photon pairs in the fluorescence from a bichromatically driven four-level atom

Matthias Jakob, J$aacute$nos A Bergou

We examine the correlation between photons in the resonance fluorescence of a bichromatically driven four-level atom. The four-level atom consists of two twofold degenerate states and, as a consequence, spontaneous emission events become sensitive to polarization. Depending on the interaction strength with the bichromatic field as well as its polarization direction, nonlinear two-photon emission takes place which, in turn, leads to extremely strong correlations between certain polarized photons. On the other hand, correlations between photons differently polarized from the distinctive ones are suppressed. Thus, the light source establishes a promising candidate for the generation of Bell-type correlated photon pairs. We explain the unusual large correlations with a nonlinear four-photon process which crucially depends on the strength of the driving as well as its polarization.
