Steady-State Squeezing in the Micromaser Cavity Field

N. Nayak

Published Jan 1, 1996• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

It is shown that the radiation field in the presently operated micromaser cavity may be squeezed when pumped with polarized atoms. The squeezing is in the steady state field corresponding to the action similar to that of the conventional micromaser, with the effect of cavity dissipation during entire t(sub c) = tau + t(sub cav).

Effect of finiteQon squeezed states in a micromaser

Shahid Qamar, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

The squeezing properties of the radiation field in a micromaser are analyzed. In particular, we consider the effect of finite Q on the steady-state squeezing inside the cavity. We also discuss the effect of pump fluctuations on squeezing and show that the regularization of pumping may lead to an increase in the steady-state squeezing.

Coherently driven and coherently pumped micromaser

Federico Casagrande, ALFREDO LULLI, V. Santagostino

We investigate the dynamics of a micromaser continuously driven by a resonant coherent field and pumped by atoms injected in superposition states. We formulate a master equation for the system, and by a Monte Carlo wave-function approach we describe the steady-state behavior as a function of atomic-transit time or driving-field intensity. The combined action of polarized atoms and driving field can lead to enhancement or suppression of coherence in system dynamics, including nonclassical effects such as quadrature squeezing, sub-Poissonian photon statistics, and revival of Rabi oscillations, as well as to shifts of the induced cavity-field phase. These results show the possibility of manipulating both the photon number and the phase of the cavity field.

The role of pump phase fluctuations in a micromaser

I Ashraf, Mansoora Majeed, B Akbar

We have studied the effect of pump phase fluctuations on steady-state squeezing in a one-photon micromaser for the case of both high- and low (finite)- Q cavities. Our system involves the preparation of a gain medium (atoms) in a partial coherent superposition of states, due to the finite linewidth of the pump field, before injecting them into the microwave cavity. We have found that even in the presence of a finite value of pump phase fluctuations we obtain 40% squeezing for high Q , which reduces to 25% for finite Q . In the absence of pump phase fluctuations we obtain 55% squeezing, in agreement with the previous work.

QUANTUM STATISTICAL PROPERTIES OF RADIATION

Shahid Qamar

We present a study on the quantum statistical properties of radiation in a one-photon micromaser. In particular, the possibility of generating steady-state squeezing is investigated. The spectral properties of the radiation field in a micromaser are also studied. \n \nWe show that the steady-state squeezing can be generated in a lossless micromaser by injecting the atoms in a coherent superposition of upper and lower states. It is shown by considering initial vacuum number and thermal state of the cavity field, that for a particular choice of the interaction time field evolves to a squeezed state. Steady- state squeezing is found to be independent of the initial state of the cavity field. However, the temporal evolution of the squeezing depends on the initial state of the field. Effects of cavity losses and pump fluctuations on steady-state squeezing are also investigated. \n \nFinally, an exact analytic expression for the linewidth of a micromaser in the absence of cavity losses is obtained by evaluating the two-time correlation function. A comparison with the natural linewidth of laser shows that under certain conditions gain contribution to the linewidth is same in both the cases. We also, derive an exact expression for the phoston distribution function and show that for a particular choice of the interaction time, the number state of the field can be generated.

Field oscillations in a micromaser with injected atomic coherence

Mark S. Hillery, Jozef Škvarček

The electric field in a lossless, regularly-pumped micromaser with injected atomic coherence can undergo a period-two oscillation in the steady state. The field changes its value after a single atom passes through the micromaser cavity, but returns to its original value after a second atom travels through. We give a simple explanation for this phenomenon in terms of tangent and cotangent states. We also examine the effect of cavity damping on this steady state.
