Observation of the Mollow Triplet from an Optically Confined Single Atom

Boon Long Ng, Chang Hoong Chow, Christian Kurtsicfer

Abstract

Resonance fluorescence from atomic systems consists of a single spectral peak that evolves into a Mollow triplet for a strong excitation field [1]. Photons from different peaks of the triplet show distinct timing correlations that make the fluorescence a useful light source for quantum information purposes.

Observation of the Mollow triplet from an optically confined single atom

Boon Long Ng, Chang Hoong Chow, Christian Kurtsiefer

Resonance fluorescence from atomic systems consists of a single spectral peak that evolves into a Mollow triplet for a strong excitation field. Photons from different peaks of the triplet show distinct timing correlations that make the fluorescence a useful light source for quantum information purposes. We characterize the fluorescence of a single optically trapped $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ atom that is excited resonantly at different power levels. Second-order correlation measurements reveal the single photon nature of the fluorescence concurrently with Rabi oscillations of a strongly excited atom. The asymmetry in correlations between photons from two sidebands of the fluorescence spectrum when the atom is exposed to an off-resonant field indicates that there is a preferred time ordering of the emitted photons from different sidebands.

Resonance fluorescence from quantum dots: beyond the Mollow triplet

We show that the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a quantum dot excited by a strong pulse contains multiple peaks. An analytical model shows how the peak positions depend on pulse width and amplitude.

Resonance fluorescence from an atom in a squeezed vacuum

H. J. Carmichael, Alistair S. Lane, Daniel F. Walls

The fluorescent spectrum for a two-level atom which is damped by a squeezed vacuum shows striking differences from the spectrum for ordinary resonance fluorescence. For strong coherent driving fields the Mollow triplet depends on the relative phase of the driving field and the squeezed vacuum field. The central peak may have either subnatural linewidth or supernatural linewidth depending on this phase. The mean atomic polarization also shows a phase sensitivity.

A simple and accurate model of collectively enhanced optical non-linearities

The investigation of resonance fluorescence of two-level systems has played a fundamental role in the development of quantum optics. Pioneering experiments have demonstrated that the fluorescence of a single emitter exhibits many interesting features such as the Mollow triplet, photon-antibunching as well as squeezing.

Resonance Fluorescence from Semiconductor Quantum Dots: Beyond the Mollow Triplet

Anders Moelbjerg, Per Kaer, Michael Lorke +1 more

We show that the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a quantum dot excited by a strong optical pulse contains multiple peaks beyond those of the Mollow triplet. We show that as the area of the optical pulse is increased, new side peaks split off the central peak and shift in frequency. A simple analytical theory has been derived, which quantitatively accounts for the appearance and position of the peaks. This theory explains the physics responsible for the multiple peaks. By considering the time-dependent spectrum we demonstrate a time ordering of the side peaks, which is further evidence for the suggested physical explanation.
