Atomic dynamics and radiative properties of a two-level atom in a resonant cavity coupled to a finite bandwidth squeezed input

Abstract

Analysis of the effects of a finite bandwidth squeezed input on the atomic dynamics and radiative properties of a coherently pumped two-level atom trapped in a resonant cavity is presented. It is found that the atom prefers to stay in the lower energy level more often at steady state regardless of the strength of the coherent radiation and squeezed input. Pronounced dipping in the population inversion occurs when the finiteness of the bandwidth of the reservoir modes is taken into consideration. Moreover, due to the narrowing of the bandwidth, the spectral width of the emitted radiation turns out to increase and the height of the central line to decrease with the strength of the squeezed input. The peaks of the sidebands become prominent and shifted side ways with the strength of the amplification constant of the parametric oscillation. It is also found that the emitted radiation exhibits photon anti-bunching, whereas the photon statistics oscillates between sub- and super-Poissonian. Unfortunately, the successively emitted cavity radiation does not exhibit squeezing despite the presence of the squeezed input.
