Field Fluctuations in a Fabry-Pérot Cavity in Resonance with a Reservoir of Two-level Atoms: II . Non–adiabatic periodic fluctuations
R. K. Colegrave, M. Sebawe Abdalla
Two kinds of periodic fluctuation in the intensity of the field in a Fabry-Pérot cavity are considered: (a) a strong pulsation with periodically vanishing intensity, identifiable with the interaction of a low-density atomic reservoir and (b) a pulsation of adjustable strength and non-vanishing intensity whose frequency is approximately twice that of a natural mode. Self-consistent values are found in each case for the resonance frequency and for the on-resonance Rabi frequency. Case (b) may be identified with a pump-signal-idler system in which the signal and idler frequencies are approximately equal, and these modes can be damped out if the pulsation is sufficiently strong.
