Enhanced spontaneous emission into the mode of a cavity QED system.

چکیده
We study the light generated by spontaneous emission into a mode of a cavity QED system under weak excitation of the orthogonally polarized mode. Operating in the intermediate regime of cavity QED with comparable coherent and decoherent coupling constants, we find an enhancement of the emission into the undriven cavity mode by more than a factor of 18.5 over that expected by the solid angle subtended by the mode. A model that incorporates three atomic levels and two polarization modes quantitatively explains the observations.

Cavity QED and microwave upconversion with Rare earth ion dopants in cryogenic whispering gallery mode resonators
We report on investigations into the coherent properties of rare-earth ion doped whispering gallery mode resonators at low temperatures. Our experiments with Pr:Y2SiO5 enabled direct measurement of cavity QED parameters, showing good agreement with calculated values. We will also describe the a couple of our theoretical proposals we are working toward implementing experimentally. The up-convers...
متن کاملManipulating molecules with quantum light.
It was first realized by Purcell (1) that the spontaneous emission rate of a quantum system can be enhanced or suppressed by placing it in a resonant radiofrequency cavity. Spontaneous emission as it was first theoretically described by Einstein (2) is not a pure property of matter. It is described by matter coupled to quantized radiation field modes, which can be manipulated in an artificial s...
متن کاملSteady State Entanglement in Cavity QED.
We investigate steady state entanglement in an open quantum system, specifically a single atom in a driven optical cavity with cavity loss and spontaneous emission. The system reaches a steady pure state when driven very weakly. Under these conditions, there is an optimal value for atom-field coupling to maximize entanglement, as larger coupling favors a loss port due to the cavity enhanced spo...
متن کاملA Coherence Preservation Control Strategy in Cavity QED Based on Classical Quantum Feedback
For eliminating the unexpected decoherence effect in cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity QED), the transfer function of Rabi oscillation is derived theoretically using optical Bloch equations. In particular, the decoherence in cavity QED from the atomic spontaneous emission is especially considered. A feedback control strategy is proposed to preserve the coherence through Rabi oscillation st...
متن کاملEnhancement and suppression of spontaneous emission and light scattering by quantum degeneracy
For a long time, spontaneous emission and light scattering were regarded as intrinsic properties of atoms. However, quantum electrodynamics ~QED! revealed the connection between these phenomena and the electromagnetic modes of the vacuum. Spontaneous emission and scattering can only take place when a vacuum mode is available to accommodate the emitted or scattered photon. Cavity-QED experiments...
