Abstract

In this paper the difference between two-photon dipole-forbidden and cascade transitions of an inverted system of atoms is studied. It is shown that the fluctuations of the electromagnetic field (EMF) density in the case of two-photon dipole-forbidden transitions are larger than the ones in the case of cascade emission. In the process of the two-photon dipole-forbidden cooperative emission the photons are created in pairs and there appears coherence between pairs of photons (biphotons). In this situation the distribution of energy between the photons in one pair may be random. For two-photon dipole-forbidden transitions the time-behavior of the square density fluctuations of EMF is similar to those of the density of EMF in the case of cascade emission. When the distance between two atoms excited relative to dipole-forbidden transitions is less than the radiation wavelength, then the kinetics of such atoms is analogous to the cascade emission of a single atom.
