Abstract

Spontaneous emission spectra for an excited three level cascade atom in an empty damped high-Q cavity are determined from the atom-cavity mode zero temperature master equation and the quantum regression theorem. Interference effects are shown.

Cascade atom in high-Q cavity: the spectrum for non-Markovian decay

Bryan J. Dalton, B. M. Garraway

The spontaneous emission spectrum for a three-level cascade configuration atom in a single mode high-Q cavity coupled to a zero temperature reservoir of continuum external modes is determined from the atom–cavity mode master equation using the quantum regression theorem. Initially the atom is in its upper state and the cavity mode empty of photons. Following Glauber, the spectrum is defined via the response of a detector atom. Spectra are calculated for the detector located inside the cavity (case A), outside the cavity end mirror (case B—end emission), or placed for emission out the side of the cavity (case C). The spectra for case A and case B are found to be essentially the same. In all the cases the predicted lineshapes are free of instrumental effects and only due to cavity decay. Spectra are presented for intermediate and strong coupling regime situations (where both atomic transitions are resonant with the cavity frequency), for cases of non-zero cavity detuning, and for cases where the two atomic transition frequencies differ. The spectral features for cases B(A) and C are qualitatively similar, with six spectral peaks for resonance cases and eight for detuned cases. These general features of the spectra can be understood via the dressed atom model. However, case B and C spectra differ in detail, with the latter exhibiting a deep spectral hole at the cavity frequency due to quantum interference effects.

Spontaneous emission by excited two level atom in cavity with zero and non-zero passive linewidth

Vladislav Cheltsov

The Green function formalism together with the new algorithm in operating with -functions has been used to obtain the 3-peaked spectrum of spontaneous emission of an atom in a weakly damped cavity. The single peaked spectrum and exponential decay law with short (1/Tc) and long (lc/g2) decay times have been shown to exist in the strongly damped cavity.

Quantum Interference in the Spontaneous Emission Spectrum of a Driven Three Level Atom

Francesco Plastina, AND PIPERNO F.

The spontaneous emission spectrum for a driven three-level system in the cascade configuration is calculated. By explicitly taking into account the upper level spontaneous decay, several modifications of the interference effects producing spectral structures are found. The combined distribution function containing second-order correlation effects is also explicitly obtained.

Dynamics of the collective spontaneous emission of two three-level atoms in a cavity

Eugene K. Bashkirov

Based on the master equation for the density matrix, the collective spontaneous emission of two A-type three-level atoms interacting with two modes of a quantum electromagnetic field in a finite- Q cavity is studied. The evolution of the emission intensity for each mode is found for the case where both atoms are initially in the excited state.

The emission spectrum of a cascade three-level atom driven by two-mode field

Zhou Junmin, Hong Guo

A general expression of emission spectrum for cascade three-level atom interacted with two-mode cavity field is given. The effects of the initial state on the emission spectrum for cascade three-level atom are explored. We verified that under appropriate conditions the interference between the different transition processes makes atomic emission spectrum exhibit phase sensitivity.
