Abstract

Abstract We provide an explicit expression for the second-order perturbative solution of a single trapped-ion interactingwith a lser field in the strong excitation regime. From the perturbative analytical solution, based on a matrix methodand a final normalization of the perturbed solutions, we show that the probability to find the ion in its excited statefits well with former results.

Trapped ions interacting with laser fields: a perturbative analysis without rotating wave approximation

Paolo Aniello, Vladimir I. Man’ko, Giuseppe Marmo +3 more

The Hamiltonian describing a single ion placed in a potential trap in interaction with a laser beam is studied by means of a suitable perturbative approach. It is shown, in particular, that the rotating wave approximation does not provide the correct expression, at the first perturbative order, of the evolution operator of the system.

Exact solution of the ion‐laser interaction in all regimes

Abstract We show that in the trapped ion‐laser interaction all the regimes may be considered analytically. We may solve not only for different laser intensities, but also away from resonance and from the Lamb‐Dicke regime. It is found a dispersive Hamiltonian for the high intensity regime, that, being diagonal, its evolution operator may be easily calculated.

Ion-laser interaction in dispersive regimes: solution using squeeze operators

Arturo Zúñiga-Segundo, H. M. Moya-Cessa

We study the resonant interaction between a trapped ion and a laser field. By tuning the field intensity far away from the trapping frequency, namely low and high intensity regimes, we arrive at so-called dispersive Hamiltonians that may be simplified via the application of squeezing transformations. We analyse the system dynamics in phase space.

Perturbative approach to the dynamics of a trapped ion interacting with a light field

Vittorio Penna, Francesco Antonino Raffa

We present a second-order perturbative analysis of the model describing a two-level trapped ion interacting with a travelling laser field, in the Lamb–Dicke regime. Unlike the customary approach, based on the interaction picture and the rotating wave approximation, we reduce the original Hamiltonian to a time-independent model, unitarily equivalent to a spin-boson model, which features a form well suited to apply the perturbation theory. We determine the first- and second-order corrections of eigenstates and eigenvalues. By varying the interaction parameters we identify four regimes characterized by different eigenvalue distributions (possibly including level doublets) and suggest the presence of an intermediate regime where the spectrum undergoes macroscopic changes. In this regime, where the perturbation approach does not hold, our reduced Hamiltonian is shown to reproduce the Jaynes–Cummings model.

High-intensity single-mode laser theory

Jehuda Ziegler, P. R. Berman

A high-intensity single-mode gas laser is analyzed by several mathematical methods. Exact numerical results are best obtained by solving for the coefficients of a Fourier series solution by using a backward recurrence scheme or a successive convergents method for evaluating a continued fraction. Numerical integration techniques can also be used to convert the periodic boundary conditions to initial conditions and then solve the resulting initial-value problem. Direct analytic integration leads to exact solutions in terms of Bessel functions for the special case of zero detuning, equal decay rates, and neglecting of collision broadening. For general single-mode operation, an improved analytic approximation [the second recursion relation approximation (2RCRA)] is obtained by taking an additional term in the recursion relations for the Fourier coefficients. This approximation predicts the existence of one of the secondary resonances in graphs of the spatially averaged population inversion and quadrature polarization coefficient densities and matches the exact solution from the position of the first resonance and outward independent of the intensity. The 2RCRA also matches the exact detuning curve except at small detunings. The first-order ("rate equation") approximation, by comparison, does not predict any secondary resonances and does not match the exact solution at higher intensities. A physical interpretation for the appearance of the secondary resonances is presented in terms of multiphoton interactions and a prediction for the positions of the resonances for the special case discussed above is obtained. As predicted by Greenstein the exact detuning curves show quantitatively that the Lamb dip decreases and disappears as the intensity increases for high excitations.
