Control of Spontaneous Emission from a Microwave Field Coupled Five-Level M-type Atom in Photonic Crystals

Abstract

We investigate the spontaneous emission spectrum of a five-level M-type atom driven by a microwave field, in which one lower level is coupled by the same modified reservoir to two upper levels. The results show that a few interesting phenomena in spontaneous emission spectra, such as spectral-line shift, spectral-line enhancement and spectral-line suppression, which can be controlled by adjusting the proper parameters of the system. These phenomena can originate from quantum interference of the strong coupling system.
