Spontaneous emission from an atom in a nonideal cavity: Application of a generalized master equation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The decay of an excited two-level atom in a cavity with mirrors of finite transmittivity is studied with the help of a generalized multimode master equation that has been established recently. The time evolution of the decaying atom is obtained by accounting for the interaction with infinitely many quasimodes. The analytical and numerical results are compared with those of the standard multimode master equation and of a universemode approach. @S1050-2947~96!11109-4#

Generalized master equation for systems in nonideal cavities with squeezed baths
The master equation for the density operator of a system in a lossy cavity, which is coupled to a squeezed bath, is generalized so as to include the effects of an enhanced loss through a mirror of finite transmittivity. As compared to the standard master equation, which is valid for a nearly-perfect cavity, the generalized master equation is found to contain additional terms that account for an...
متن کاملSpontaneous Emission Spectrum from a Driven Three-Level Atom in a Double-Band Photonic Crystal
Abstract The spontaneous emission spectrum from a driven three-level atom placed inside a double-band photonic crystal has been investigated. We use the model which assumes the upper levels of the atomic transition are coupled via a classical driving field. The transition from one of the upper levels to lower level couples to the modes of the modified reservoir, and the transition from the oth...
متن کاملGeneration of Nonclassical States of the Radiation Field in the System of a Single Trapped Atom in a Cavity within the First Order of the Lamb-Dicke Approximation
In this paper, we propose a theoretical scheme for the generation of non-classical states of the cavity field in a system of a single trapped atom via controlling the Lamb-Dicke parameter. By exploiting the super-operator method, we obtain an analytical expression for the density operator of the system by which we examine the dynamical behaviors of the atomic population inversion, the phase-spa...
متن کاملEntanglement of an Atom and Its Spontaneous Emission Fields via Spontaneously Generated Coherence
The entanglement between a ?-type three-level atom and its spontaneous emission fields is investigated. The effect of spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) on entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed. We find that in the presence of SGC the entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is completely phase dependent, while in absen...
متن کاملGeneralization of damping theory for cavities with mirrors of finite transmittivity.
Standard damping theory is generalized to incorporate the effects of finite mirror transmittivity. The correction to the standard Langevin equation for the quasimode annihilation operator is determined in first order in the transmittivity of the mirrors. From the Langevin equation an effective master equation is derived. As an example, we study the decay of a single two-level atom at a fixed po...
